From dawn to dusk, a changing sky,
 A gecko finds another hue

The strangest sounds I never heard
Are from a lizard and a bird - 
The quiet voice of the gecko, 
A duck’s quack that doesn’t echo....

THE GRASSHOPPERS TALE 

It was not my ambition to be born and bred
Just so that darn flamin’ Gecko could be fed

I tapped the poetry bin
Naught but an empty echo
The stillness of a blank wall
Decorated by a frozen Gecko

The President just stopped for gas
Deep in the heart of Breakwind Pass
The booming echo
Sent GEICO's gecko
California to Maine First Class...

First she saw the slow moving yuky slug,
That crawled across the floor
Then there was the Gecko, running up the door
Tasty treat he followed until he touched that slimy bug...

then i

climes 
finding my

green anole leaps,
    high wire act sans net, and laughs ~
        at Geico gecko

—————

The green anole (a-no-le) is native to the southeast and likes to hang out in trees and on walls....

it's the eighth
day that i've
been here
now the
ninth
day

of

the
month
and the
moon is full
though i'm in
my hotel room

i know 

above 
my roof
top there
is a lunar
pull that
lifts me 

and
makes
the gecko 
speak...

Spindly elbows skew 
Laurie rides his rusty steed —
Owl eyes sparkle blue.

Blue-bottomed bees buzz
Through dappled dims, garden green —
Whispered perfume haze.

Twilight windows glow
Wispy wings are glass-dancing —
Gecko chuck chuck goes....

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...

Geico's Gecko is a strange little dude

   Talking funny and strolling in the nude

      But be that as it may

         I'm sure he earns his pay

            At selling insurance he's mighty shrewd

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
...

Mary had a gecko
Its skin was shamrock green
But everywhere that Mary went
It changed its colour scheme

When Mary went to Heaven
Her gecko made the scene
Saint Peter sent them back again
He thought they had gangrene!

So when you get to Heaven
And you need a go-between
Just ask for Mary's gecko
Its the Devil's own routine!...

i left
with ridding
my house
of mice

yes
i killed
them

i went
to a place
of a gecko
chirping

his song
i fell to
sleep by

back i came
but nuts a
squirrel in
the wall

on the roof
tomorrow
perhaps

i'll lift 
my arms
and reach
for the sky

hoping 
as i always
wanted to be

a
bird
and 
fly

away...

The diabolical Geckos were plotting
While our fall leaves were rotting
Yes there was some spotting
On those leaves that were rotting

But this is the crazy most maniacal ridiculous thing
Those Geckos were plotting to overthrow the king
I knew what turmoil this might to our kingdom bring
So I turned traitor and told their plot to the king...

A gecko who represents GEICO
My fame sure continues to grow
     And because I am cute
     I have money to boot
Who’d guess I’d been raised in a ghetto

Insurance I’m in, so let’s begin
Assessing your worth, to your chagrin
     No policy covers
     That place where you hover
Think we insure bats? You’re mistaken!

What am I?
I can stick to any surface except Teflon.
Yes, I am an animal and I stick by my toes.
I can bark, chirp and click.
You heard me correctly.
I live on every continent except Antarctica.
My eyes are over three hundred times more sensitive than yours.
I kind of look like a lizard to some.

Hidden
Out of sight
Usually by day
Safely tucked away
Eats insects and cockroaches yum! yum!

Goes clings to ceiling runs
Everywhere at night
Cause you don't want anyone to 
Know that you
Own a house gecko

(Because everyone needs one(house gecko) but no one would want people to know they 
have one.  Strictly fictional even thought some truth.)...

Crafty little devil,
Friend of the Gecko,
Sly, secretive, aloof..
Whether up a tree or on a roof

Weasly ways he uses to get
Whatever he wants,
And you can bet...
He'll have his hand in your pocket,
As he does deny
That he does such a thing,
You'll make him cry!!

Oh w'ascally weasel
You devilish lad...
I'll break your hand
If you touch my wad....

Startled, I looked up 
a Roadrunner glancing in my front window
this feathery little sassy creature,
dancing, sweeping its tail back and forth with fancies;
one of Mother Nature’s charms.

It's proud to show his gecko in his beak
seeking flattery as he lets go and shrieks,
its little friend, too weak to run from harm.
