Survival Tips

smiles, nods with a wink
                                   hides what to see, what to think
                                      squid squirts jet black ink

                       seems what it can seem
                          really there, although unseen
                             chameleon blends in

               green tree frog slides down
                  reeds, tadpoles, wind hasn't blown
                     safe unto its own
