Imagine my ecstasy
and with it my curiosityonly my childhood knows
when I caught sight of what
in green coat frocked, trapped indoors
by summer screens on the windows,
clawed to the kitchen ceiling-
waylays preys-
its up- side downness, intrigued
me, and more so the cat, spying it
from the floor, helpless
to pounce upon. Father-
unlike mother has not
an unfair bias against
the lizard as a pest-
but as a gardener
rather welcomes it as pest-killer
that makes the kitchen garden
pesticide -free.
