Bite Me!! He held out his hand gingerly With lettuce—on guard inwardly— Iguana did snap! We heard, “Holy crap! He bit me!” he yelled bitterly! You cannot assume when you try To do something good it will fly! Some “creatures” will nab, While others must stab— Make “bite me” your snappy reply! © Sandra M. Haight 2015 All Rights Reserved ~4th Place~ Contest: Bite Me!! Sponsor: John Lawless Judged: 06/11/2015 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *Inspired by an event during a recent trip when an Iguana really did bite my husband’s finger as he fed him and left two bleeding puncture wounds! .

so much for the "don't bite the hand that feeds you" mentality. Love the tongue in cheek "metaphor" of feeding the Iguana in second limerick. Thanks for participating.

Hi Broken, I appreciate your encouraging comment and 7 support. Compared to some others, mine seems a little weak in the 'venom and vitriol department requested by John, but we'll see! Hugs, Sandra
