the monitor lizard

 

The monitor lizard

Lazing around the garden

Hiding in the palm trees

For days it plays its game


It refuses to leave

Though it knows

There is no welcoming sign

It has to go


Today it shows its presence

Showing it doesn't care at all

Staring with its eyes

You think I care?”


An iron rod whacks the monitor lizard

It realizes too late there is no escape plan

Within seconds it kisses its life goodbye

But at least it can have a new image in the next life


The monitor lizard dead today

It may come from the underground drain

Because the whole area is covered with tar road

Once there was a snake let it go safely
