High Wire Act

green anole leaps,
    high wire act sans net, and laughs ~
        at Geico gecko

—————

The green anole (a-no-le) is native to the southeast and likes to hang out in trees and on walls.

'An ole' familiar song for the Geico Gecko. He's really lost his mojo, I'd say. Thanks for the hilarity, Jeff! Made my night. :) gw

Jeff, I hope you realise that your haiku had me 'Googling' Anoles and Geckos :) I have since learnt that if you want a lizard you wish to handle dont go with anoles as they are more a 'watch and enjoy' pet. Who knows? I don't but what I do know is that I enjoyed reading your haiku. Cheers - Gary

thanks, Gary - we have them, and numerous others, by the thousands.... One variety likes to get close and start doing pushups, as though challenging me. They are wonderful little creatures, IMHO.
