The chameleon


I was walking through the forest
it was getting rather late
when I saw a large chameleon
leaning on a gate

I stopped and had a chat with him
and I asked him what he did
I told him I was Harry
and he said his name was Sid

He said 'I'm leaning on this gate
waiting for a snack'
and he asked if I was going
or if I was coming back

'I'm going home' I told him
'I've been to see my cousin Jack'
'you can't be going then' he said
'you must be coming back'

'Coming here, or going there
what difference does it make?'
and he looked at me disdainfully
and gave his head a shake

'What sort of meal is it' I asked
that you're waiting for out here?'
'I'm not waiting for a meal' he said
you're going deaf, I fear'

'I said I'm waiting for a snack,
a nibble, just a bite
not a meal or anything
I just want something light'

Just then a fire fly appeared
and Sid said 'that'll do'
and suddenly it vanished
and Sid began to chew
