Gecko

Mary had a gecko
Its skin was shamrock green
But everywhere that Mary went
It changed its colour scheme

When Mary went to Heaven
Her gecko made the scene
Saint Peter sent them back again
He thought they had gangrene!

So when you get to Heaven
And you need a go-between
Just ask for Mary's gecko
Its the Devil's own routine!

G’day Rico … love the little geckos. We had geckos living in our house with us in Sunraysia. You did you good job indeed with this little tale - thanks Rico - Lindsay
