Lizard babe, just crawl into my beckoning hand

we’ll dart from bush to bush across this thorny land

we’ll make love below the Big Dipper in the diamondy sky

lizard babe, jus’ cuz’ you got funky scales, don’t be shy

~

You’re such a lean reptile with such a slender tail

when you dart n’ wiggle it my heart do almost fail

from lot to lot I love to watch you swiftly go

’til you scamper back and finally let me knowwwwwww

!

I’m the one for you when you’re all wore out

jus’ wiggle all over my face & I won’t shout

I’ll lick you clean of all the mean that you have glean

’til you’ve forgotten every other man you have ever seen

~

Lizard babe, let me be your desert squirrel

let me welcome you into my underground burrow

you can curl up next to me for all of eternity

and still go out & run from camp to camp gleefully
