Random Animal Haikus
a small green gecko
smiling in the palapa
watching everything
arachnids calmly
weave intricate spiderwebs
waiting in shadows
a striped iguana
sunbathing on the smooth rocks
watching the ocean
hermit crabs scuttle
on wet sand, going nowhere,
only moving on

Bragging Iguana Was On My Last Nerve
The bragging iguana was on my last nerve.
He ran into a cloud after he took a fast swerve.
He’s such a show off! For an inventor I said.
He had invented a tea kettle hot air balloon bed.
His invention traveled all over the meadow today.
Some easily influenced children were shouting hooray.
I was annoyed by his attitude; he

Cheering For An Iguana
Never thought I'd be cheering for an iguana but I did
Snakes on Madagascar don't play fair, they're hypocrites
Look cute, by crikey
But really, gorblimey
Ain't the nicest of serpents, eat iguanas and their kids

Galapagos Island Ignoramus Oops Iguana
Galapagos Island Ignoramus, (oops) Iguana
or
Seventh Grade Craziness
Written: By Tom Wright
12/12/2003
I didn’t mind being called an ignoramus,
The class was divided; about half thought it was a compliment,
But I knew she was calling me some sort of big lizard.
I was happy that it wasn’t dimwit or blockhead.

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 Current Iguana
How good was it with Barack Obama
Great prez, so sad to say adieu, oh momma
What a charmer
Much love he garnered
Comparisons are glaring with the current iguana

My Iguana
My iguana bit my nose off in Muskogee
I'm ashamed I let myself run out of beer
If I'm caught driving sober to the grocery
They might deport my ass right out of here.

Iguana
Iguana wants to be a player
Geico commercials didn't hire this slayer
Apparently he's too green
To counteract the green screen
So Iguana puts on shades
Then moonwalks and prays
The Gecko breaks a leg on Thursday
And hopefully doesn't regenerate the next day

Irrational Iguana Diary Entry Four
One day and one space bar later an irrational iguana put on a wetsuit and some roller skates and left the house. He met with his friends on the way who were waiting at the shop. They were bug eyed swamp who was a squalid squid who squirted herons for a living, the jackdaw juggler

Haiku 9 - Iguana On the Treetops, Mister Spider, 6 Am and Falling Rain
perched on the treetops
iguana closes its eyes
soaking in the sunshine
the new doorkeeper
of this deserted house

6 am and falling rain

this morning

Iguana Tree
I walked beneath the Iguana tree
Along a cobbled road
Taking in the surroundings
In this land of Mexico
Here life has a rhythm
No one seems in a rush
Yet they get where they're going
While I continue on my walk
I try to match their pace
Yet I feel I'm out of step
I worry about tomorrow
All the worries in my

I Slaughtered An Iguana Yesterday Just To Watch One Die
NO, IT WAS NOT PANAMA PETE THIS TIME
She and I met at a bar so it’s very ironic
That now I should require some pills and a tonic
Just to forget what Joe the barkeep wants to know
I simply suppose because business was slow
So Joe told me about the Mrs. and four little kids
Suffice it to say

Night of the Iguana
Awards night, my corporate boss thought this up,
with dinner, cash prize and chairman's gilded cup.
As an awardee in a Hongkong five-star,
I truly felt like some pampered superstar.
After warm bath, I checked myself in the mirror
for any overlooked, unsightly error.
