Lizzie Lizard

At the hour of one The housework is done It is time to leave the nest A sand coloured skin She wears to blend in Lizzie Lizard soon is dressed At the hour of two When dinner is due It is time to find a treat Any fruits that fall She savours them all Lizzie Lizard likes to eat At the hour of three Beneath a tall tree It is time - again is time How high I can go! She calls out below Lizzie Lizard likes to climb At the hour of four Beside the seashore It is time on gulls to spy How lucky they are She thinks from afar Lizzie Lizard wants to fly At the hour of five ( So fast to arrive! ) It is time to homeward walk Going to her house She meets Littlemouse Lizzie Lizard stops to talk At the hour of six ( The clock quickly ticks ) It is time for counting sheep Without more to say She goes on her way Lizzie Lizard wants to sleep
