Off we went to the zoo on vacation

To see animals of God's creation.

Most of them I adore

But reptiles I abhore.

Visiting them was no recreation....

 Someone threw a big piece  dynamite
 Only thunder was die

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....

all the reptiles gathered round

when elmer the frog hopped to town

never was history

croaked with such boastful glee

till from his pad he fell and drowned.

I cut off the chicken legs of my dusty house
I live in this tin with a little grey mouse
Each year on Halloween I put candy out
And catch me some kidniks to grind into grout,...

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....

A dragon is not a dinosaur.
Those reptiles do not live anymore.
Saint George was a liar.
Dragons do not breathe fire.
That was all a product of folklore.

They’re extinct reptiles.
Larger than the ones today.
Dinosaurs are gone....

Snakeskin in my garden
About two feet long
Flimsy iridescent 
Not very strong 
Uneven texture
Pearlescent hue
One inch around
What can I do
Looking for it’s owner
Must be bigger now
Reptiles not my favorite 
Wish it was a cow

Tyrannosaurus Bob is who I am.
You herbivore dinos had better scram.
When I have an appetite,
I will give you a big bite.
I never settle for just eggs and ham.

It’s Jurassic time.
Dinosaurs are on the earth.
The big reptiles rule....

Triangle of death
    UFOs- maybe reptiles of space ?
    Unexplained powers

    A story well told
    Questionable assumptions
    Who knows the answer ?

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....

I think all animals that die
are cuddly cherubs in the sky;
though mayhem must arise for sure,
when rivals meet at heaven's door,
with biting reptiles, gnawing rats,
and snarling dogs and clawing cats...

AUTUMN ACROSTIC 
All I could see is the leaves falling away
Uniformly the grains pour in the store to stay
Tolerant we shall be to reptiles and rodents
Untamed are the cowboys natural is their scent
My grain my stomach no one dare to say
Now let’s prepare for winter for it come stay

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.

I am a bird, uncommon in the USA.
African born.
a snake-killing bird.
my head’s crest 
similar to
but not exactly like
a pin cushion 
With pens rather than pins
sticking out of it
Reptiles are my prey.
Who am I?

Cold-blooded reptiles with
Conical teeth, scales, and
Clawed webbed toes, these cunning
Carnivorous creatures 
Capture prey with ease. They
Can kill with strong jaws. Take
Care wading through a swamp!

Behold the mighty pyramids that stand beside the Nile.
The pyramids appear amid three hungry crocodiles
Who are swimming down the Nile in a hungry single file
As they eye an idle anglophile a mile down the Nile.
And in awhile these crocodiles, now three satisfied reptiles, 
Reappear amid the pyramids with three horrid toothy smiles....

Tides wash over painted toes.
Rum rains down;Reptiles sun.
Ocean waves; Oracles with desired lies.
Palm treed Paradise with insects.
Islands with beautiful barefooted influences
Careless days and nights; secret caves and coves.
Abundant atmosphere; fruited alcohol attractions.
Lovers under the lagoon's night sky.
~ ~ ~   Leafy layers of Tropical Life....
