Lizzy Scared Silly

Some mystery seeds from China Town

Arrived by post wrapped in a gown

But they were lizard eggs

That hatched, crept round her legs…

She screamed in fear, jumped up and down.

Lindsay Laurie Date: 8/17/2020 4:26:00 PM G'day Paul ... we once had geckos laying eggs in our house. The only lizard I'm really jumpy with are goannas around here. They can grow to eight feet and meat attracts them. Your limerick reminded me of the lizards we have had - thanks Paul - Lindsay Login to Reply Paul Callus Date: 9/2/2020 8:48:00 AM We have different lizards, Lindsay, but none of them are that big! I don't mind them at all, but I would not want a goanna in the house! Best regards // paul
