Li'l Orphan Lizzie Poem by Ima Ryma

He and she had a one night stand,
And then they both went on their way.
I do not know if I was planned.
I just showed up new be one day.
An offspring that somehow got sprung,
Instinctively I stayed alive,
Making my way as orphaned young,
Growing with the will to survive.
So I had no parents around,
I really see no point to blame.
As I mature where I am bound,
I will probably do the same.

It makes this lizard somewhat sad -
Never knowing my Mom and Dad.
