Witty Lizard

Protruding eyes turn around; ball in socket. It just jumped out of Dad’s coat pocket! Visibly disturbed, it is not to lose its wit. A new shelter it must find in grooves, sunlit. Catch it! It fools us leaving its tail behind to make a clean escape, leaving us blind. Try looking for it among creeping bean; it is much wiser for it has turn green! Rhyme scheme: aabbccdd

Very witty Sunita - loved your Chameleon story - We have a lot of lizards in Australia called Geckos and some of them are quite strange looking and pretty too...Maria
