Charlie Chameleon

Sad old Charlie Chameleon was feeling really low He blended into the background and never was on show He had his eyes on a lady love who would be his soul mate But she just couldn’t see him so he never got his date Charlie sat in a gnarled old tree and sang a plaintive song He loved to listen to music but the words just came out wrong Suddenly he heard laughter for someone else was in the tree Charlie peered quite hard and then he could finally see A lovely lady chameleon was basking on the tree trunk He plucked up nerve to say hello – that really took some ***** The chameleon’s name he discovered was Liz One look in her eyes and his heart did whiz Now Charlie is as happy as can be They sit together in that gnarled old tree The moral of this story is if you want to be seen Don’t stay hidden in the shadows and find the lady in your dream Jan Allison 9th August 2014 Inspiration behind this Poem from Brian Johnson’s ‘The Man Who Loved Lizards'
