A tale with two tails & a love tale true
Listen my children, and you shall hear
A tale of laughter and a crocodile tear
There once was a lizard who thought she could swim
And she fell in the water for her eyesight was dim
She struggled and floundered - this story is true!
Til her cheeks filled to bursting, and her pink turned to blue
And just when poor Lizzy was to gasp her last gasp
Up swam old Croccy and took her in grasp
He laid her up gently on the shoreline so dry
And then eyed his cousin and raised up his eye
If you wanted to swim, you’d amphibious be
I come in and go out, but you stick to your tree
We’re cousins it’s true. But we differ as such
So just lie here and sun some. The water’s too much
And as Croccy swam off and lil Lizzy dried out
She regained her strength enough just to shout
Hey cousin! I thank you. I owe you my life
If you come to the forest, I’ll sure be your wife
