Uncle Mike's Island Encounter

Under the Banyan Tree

Underneath the banyan tree
Eating lunch so peacefully
What was that that dripped on me

Wet on shoulder, hip and knee
No one else – no, only me
Wondering what it could be 

Looking up into the tree
No care that all of us could see
From lifted leg so gracefully

Yes there I was in old San Juan
Underneath the devil’s spawn
When suddenly I’m peed upon

Iguana pee
