The Geico Gecko

Geico's Gecko is a strange little dude

   Talking funny and strolling in the nude

      But be that as it may

         I'm sure he earns his pay

            At selling insurance he's mighty shrewd

LOL! A good laugh on this one, he is very shrewd I think. However, that one commercial where he wakes up in Richard Simmons' hotel room is just lewd :).
