Oh little Lizard, so green, small and pure,
You camouflage when you crawl on the earth's floor,
You're so tiny and fragile when you're small,
And rough when you get big because you don't get tall.

Oh little Lizard run, to the east, north, west and south,
So your tiny legs can feel the dirt all about.
And your home would be anywhere you wish,
Just not in the water, remember you're not a fish.

Oh little Lizard, laying on the rock in the sun,
Changing your color and shedding your skin in one.
You look so beautiful when you're reborn again,
A new you in the same old world, so hide before you're slayed.

Oh little Lizard, quick under the rock or the tree roots,
Fast before any wild predator shoots.
Stay safe and stay warm,
And you eat and drink water to stay in form.

Oh little Lizard, I'll see you again,
Your beauty is a memory that will not leave my brain.
I hope you survive what's coming for you soon,
And we'll meet again later by the rock at the pool.
