Irish Lizard





The lizards are back!


The lizards are back!


They paraded on St Pats


wearing their green with smile attacks





This tiny fellow was barely an inch


he crawled from the bromeliad in a pinch


when I shook the plant it was a cinch


to see him strut like a proud finch





His tiny frame was like a pin


his skin so very paper thin


his breathing new and rather dim


as he looked around with a small grin





He didn't run away from me


I think that he could easily see


that he made me so very happy


I was harmless and friendly





He sat while I got my camera


glowing with a cosmic chimera


showing off in such glamour


baby pix that made me stammer





As I watched him walk away


I thanked the Lord for this spring day


knowing war and evil ways


can't conquer life where lizards play!

Reply:Lacerta vivipara, alternatively Zootoca vivipara... The common or viviparous lizard... Not a very impressive name!
