Harmless Guest

Harmless guest Underneath Zoom chair Some small creature fleeing in confusion Ah ha, a brown lizard, harmless four-legged guest Hiding and scared, aren’t you? So am I Please do not visit me in bed tonight Mi-casa-su-casa prey on insects and spiders all you want and Thank you for house cleaning service Mi-casa-su-casa Enjoy this big playground hanging out in small covered spaces under any couches, chairs, desks, bookshelves, or tables in the house Closets, vents, baseboards, cushions, and potted plants unlimited places to hide One early morning A two-legged guest picks up his underpants Surprise! A four-legged guest skydive dropping onto the ground fleeing in amusement
