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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mystery Seeds Poetry Contest Sponsor: Carolyn Devonshire Placed 2nd © 16th August 2020

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

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
