Imaginative steel

I went to the bathroom


To take a much needed _


And what did surprise me?


Someone looking at me


Through the other side


Of the old dirty window


Outdoors in the sunshine


Baking in the Florida heat


Atop a water apparatus


Which I use for the yard


I saw a friendly lizard


A small scaly reptile


With an elongate body


A tapering tantalizing tail


Two pair of little legs


With very long toes


This terrestrial species


A miniature dinosaur


With skin like leather


Ideal for climates tropical


Speedy and furiously fast


Moving like a lightning bolt


Many lizards run around


To the amazement of


My happy Canadian wife


Who had never seen such


A glorious and fun creature


Throughout a cold winter


But the lizard out the window


Was for me particularly special


Able to impart companionship


During a quick bathroom break


Kind of like a "Hey, dude!"


"I'm here. How about you?"


"Alright man. How do you do?"


"Are you having a nice day?"


"Are things going you way?"


"As for me I'm just running


Around your pretty backyard."


"I thought I'd just say hello."


"Take a moment while you go


To peer in and sneak a peak.


Ask Mr. Davis what you think."


"I know I'm just a tiny lizard,


But I can be quite the wizard."


"I am most fast and furious


I like to eat insects delicious


Run from nasty snakes ferocious


Loud birds who peck mischievous."


"I play in your flowers and bushes


Sometimes sort through some trash


Chill out and time relaxingly pass."


"Have fun while you get done


All you will frantically do today.


Meanwhile I will continue to play."


I just wanted to quickly say 'hey!'
