In the Jungle With Some Reptiles

When he sees 
That cameleon stops 
to change colour, 
tell him to check it proper 
may be his sight 
is not right. 

When she sees a cobra
Tell her to make hot porridge
In the calabash and 
carry it on her head 
She will walk in the jungle 
Like an African Queen.

Sneaky Snakes

Trouble, trouble in the mown rye!
Sneaky snakes slither round and by,
silently squeezing through rubble
in the mown rye, trouble, trouble!

Sneaky snakes eat rats in the field,
mice and bugs that damage the yield. 
Common problems farmers must beat.
Rats in the field, sneaky snakes eat. 

Friendship extends to snakes today.
Sneaky snakes are welcome to stay. 
Sneaky snakes are

Reptiles For Breakfast

I said, “I only eat reptiles for breakfast, if you please.”
Excuse me said the waitress, who started to sneeze.
We waited patiently, except Daddy who ordered peas.
Alligator or crocodile? Waitress asked, on her knees.

We thought this was strange. Mom said “Oh, please!”
Daddy was embarrassed. The table felt a chilly breeze.
After she took our order Mommy said,

Sweet Talkers of the Devil

Sweet Talkers of the Devil

Reptiles in human suits are the true sweet talkers of the devil,
and are well known among the various societies in our world
as slick, sleek actors who fancy the breaking of common law
virtues by their actions in supporting ungodly acts of a real
form of reprehensible separatism that opposes all that is right

Reptiles and Us

When neighbor fields are plowed, sowed, and irrigated
The reptiles enter our homes feeling accepted
They move around within, as though unobstructed
When neighbor fields are plowed, sowed, and irrigated
They sleep on our beds as though feeling protected
They play with our children mentally connected
When neighbor fields are plowed, sowed, and irrigated
The reptiles enter our homes feeling accepted
We are

Gizzard

Do lizards have gizzards?
Do wizards have craws?
Are parakeets Paracletes
Exempt from laws?

I need to know how
I kneaded dough now 
To disavow middlebrow
Hear the cow bow-a-wow.

An Escape

On the day 
When we encountered,
What did you think of me?
As your predator or prey?

That buzzing sound
you created was to
threaten me or to alert me
that you were coiled on the ground?

When everyone said
you were venomous
and your single bite
would make me dead,

I was the one
who knew that 
I was alive then because of you
and without your

Pollywogs

Ten tiny pollywogs
Happy as can be
Along came an alligator
Ate up three.

Seven skittish pollywogs
Beneath a lily pad
Up swam a rainbow trout
They all died sad.

The Reptiles

Hey world, you are tired
And I just woke up
I don't walk during day time
due to big shame and fear
Wherever I look, I see black outfit there
According to psychologist, 
the world is really black 
And this is nothing but your frustration 
So you must have sudden intercourses
But there is no companion
And there is neither any sex

Our Own Age of Reptiles

(our own) age of reptiles

I remember
it was mainly in the Cretaceous period 
of our own age of reptiles
soon to be doomed
by the great collision

we made plans
and thought about things
and things
and so many nice things to do
but they went extinct too soon
lost and not-to-be found again

some of them, though
are being uncovered
from time to time
by the archaeologists

Reptiles

Paws
like claws
nan-o, nan-o
changing colors
Chameleon

I saw a picture of a chameleon in a magazine and I was a mazed at their feet, it reminded me 
of the nan-o nan-o hand shake of Robin Williams in Mork and Mindy. Andrea you were right on.
