Zoe was a clever girl, and I wasn't surprised when she wanted to try a haiku-style piece, but it was even cleverer than I had expected, with a correct syllable count and a delightful punch-line.
Slow-worm in the grass looks at me with beady eyes and puts its tongue out.
(Note: the slow-worm is a legless lizard that looks like a small snake, locally quite common in England.) I love the suggestion that the creature is being cheeky by putting its tongue out, while we all know - don't we? - that lizards do this to smell the air around them.
