Raining Iguanas

It’s raining iguanas;
They’re falling from trees.
So strap on the headgear,
‘Cuz it’s fixing to freeze.

Next week, there’s a blizzard;
There’s already talk.
They’re expecting gators,
But that’s just a croc.

If turtles get added
To this wintry mix,
You’d best watch those bones,
They’ll be snapping like sticks!

Barometer’s falling;
Call the doc, goodness sakes!
I’m getting quite anxious
Just thinking of snakes.

I might have to blue pill
This arctic-cold blast.
This reptile dysfunction:
I hope it won’t last.

Hahaha Jeff. Now I have to read one of yours titled "Box Turtle"... Question: by saying, "... have to blue pill"... Are you referring to the Matrix red pill blue pill? I love the word play, and this poem holds up for a day like today... It's going to be close to 35°F this morning :(

A little word play, yes - matrix red/blue, or possibly the "little blue pill" that solves all the problems of men when their barometer is falling, lol
