Gourmet Tidbits vs Lizards
you want them to stay out of trouble,
but trouble’s their nom de guerre
you want them to lay off the birds & bugs,
settle for gourmet tidbits,
and the crème de la crème of scraps
and just when you think
you know what they want
its double trouble and lizards for lunch
curiosity it seems, is the name of the game
nothing that moves
or seems out of place
escapes their radar ears, saucer eyes,
and energizer sniffer
It’s just part of their nature,
to hunt down a sound,
stalk an invisible unknown something,
and bring home gifts you’d rather decline
you want them to stay out of trouble,
but troubles their nom de guerre
