Fun In the Sun

A lizard lies in the sand,
In a blazing tropic sun.
Three kids chuckle under a shade,  
Starring at the calm being.
	One says, "Look, it must be dead."
	Another, "Has tummy ache."
	Another, "Just sunbathing." 
The lizard nods, wags his tail.

Very good. I believe "just sunbathing" is closer to the truth.

Thanks, Lionel. We all speculate a lot, but there's one truth.
