Carlos the Chameleon

Carlos the chameleon likes to wave at passersby,
But none of them wave back at him which makes poor Carlos cry.
He stands there by his house and waves as loudly as he can,
They all ignore him, that’s not fair, he doesn’t understand.
It’s not that they don’t like him, yes he’s loved by one and all,
But none of them can see him ‘cos he blends in with the wall.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 1/22/2019 6:30:00 PM John, you had better be making a book of these, so Oliver someday can share these darling poems with his grandchildren. This is a fabulous legacy! Login to Reply John Wilmore Date: 1/22/2019 6:40:00 PM Hi Caren! I did make a book for his first Christmas, 2018, and i had a lot of fun writing the poems. Each poem has an accompanying photo, but I'm not sure how to upload them to this site.
