Ode to the lizard in my window




You frolicked in the sun while it was cold outside.

Your presence in our house made my hubby tongue-tied.

Emerging in the day and hiding out at night.

A reptile, bug eater, quite a sight.



Google says you live for 3 years

So why, now, was your passing so near?

Such a sleek, fast, pretty green mover.

Sorry I had to suck you up in my Hoover.


P.S. I didn't kill the lizard. It lived a full life in our window and died of natural causes some time this week.
