BRIDGET GRIFFIN

Tiles mosaic 

Stomach archaic

Sprightly glistening territorial eyes

A tongue that laps up. All the noise

Very scaled. Many pigments of brown

This artful dodger has a frown

Dancing jiving. Back and to

Like a Pokemon card.

He resembles you

Whipping his tail

Almost 15 cm long

No clothes needed in a metallic throng

Eddie is his name

Two years old

These eyes can sift pots of gold

Meal worms and rocket salad. 

A little water is his pallet

This chap doesn’t use his hands to eat

Only his tongue is there to greet

‘I’m not in the body don’t you see

Just up in the heavens of family tree’

But I understand humans.

Whatever you may say

I’m fighting a battle to devour my prey

My teeth are razor sharp.

No need to forget

I’ll never be in need of your local vet.
