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
