'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.
