IF THE THING CATCHES A FLY

I MIGHT NOT MAKE IT

I tried to casually chat with her,

but the live lizard on her shoulder was distracting.

She was a charming girl,

a regular walking zoo. I half expected a bird

to fly out of her hat.

I tried not to smile, but as she spoke,

the little bug-eyes kept

roaming around the room.

I know I heard her name three or four times,

She’ll always be Lizard-Girl to me.

  1. Very interesting,

    your poem speaks.

    Lots of accessories,

    some females like to wear

    And you write this so well!


  2. I shiver at the thought.  Great poem TahDah!

  3. This is a really cute and awesome poem and i loved it a lot...

  4. Live accessories really aren't my thing. Sounds like you rather enjoyed it though!

  5. Frightening...truly, frightening. Like those little old ladies you see with birds nests atop their hats...

  6. That's an everyday thing here in Florida...even Grace has been known to accessorize with geckos,  one decided to fight back and clamped onto her ear.  I figured if the lizard wanted to be an earring, I would not interfer..

  7. Accessories are too much when they need their own accessories.


  8. Might her name have been Chameleon?

  9. Nice child like poem, make a book
