One-Eyed Iguanas

I once met some natives from Bahamas Both men had the same size BIG iguanas I was embarrassed - to say I felt very SMALL - that day When I saw them pop out their pajamas Re-submitted for- Put Your Best (One) Limerick Forward (Be like Rico Leffanta) Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Andrea Deitrich Humorous Limerick Poetry Contest Sponsored by Tania Kitchin 7-2-2019
