Jim Slaughter Poet Light Verse

Critterature: Table For One, Please

An iguana and a ladybug
Went out to eat one day.
The lady said, "This is my treat, 
And I'll be glad to pay."
Said lizard, "Not at all, my dear,
For I've a teeny hunch
That after I am through with you,
There'll be just one for lunch!"
