The Iguana -- But Not In a Blizzard

The iguana is certainly a popular lizard
To figure out why doesn't take a wizard

With that spiky mane curving down its back
It looks like a stegosaurus who went off track

I myself prefer pterodactyls to lizards
To guide me home when lost in a blizzard

The iguana reminds me of a wise old sage - who sits on a rock for a day and an age! (sorry but this inspired me!)

Me too. I much prefer pterodactyls! A charming poem, Gershon. You are so witty! Had to FAVE it.

No kidding, Line! Pterodactyls! Hmmm. … OK, since you made this one a FAVE, I won't have you committed---just yet... LOL. Thank you so much. I'm honored and humbled. Yours in obeisance, gw
