in pants and buttoned shirt, a cold-blooded reptile who likes to flirt. He changes colors like leaves in autumn. You hit the high then fall to the bottom. Intoxicating like strawberry wine. Like wet laundry he’ll string you up on the line. He's dripping black into your white. You’ll turn gray overnight. But oh! His smile has teeth. You'll hang on his door like a Christmas wreath. Like the seasons he runs hot to cold. Remember December brings the snow. Rising like a golden sun, turning black when day is done.

He's a Chameleon
in pants and buttoned shirt, a cold-blooded reptile who likes to flirt. He changes colors like leaves in autumn. You hit the high then fall to the bottom. Intoxicating like strawberry wine. Like wet laundry he’ll string you up on the line. He's dripping black into your white. You’ll turn gray overnight. But oh! His smile has teeth. You'll hang on his door like a Christmas wreath. Like the seasons he runs hot to cold. Remember December brings the snow. Rising like a golden sun, turning black when day is done.
