Lovely Chameleon

[Joe Mc]

Chameleon you sit
for years under the
Rising heat
Descending rays
Basking your alabaster
outline
Chameleon if i gave you
half a pound of jelly sweets
would you dance
or even move your toe
for me
Please move Chameleon
Let me race you
in a derby with a chicken
a frog and a three legged
rabbit
Let me parade you through
the narrow streets, with some string
in Summer Time when the tourists will
gasp and breathlessly stagger and fall
into the nearest Bar

Alas my foolish thoughts end !
That frizzled
streaming tongue has been created
to be there, specifically there not here
To take the insects and life
Out of the silent air and into the silent
mind, lovely Chameleon.
(Hugs Chameleon and cries) :-)

LOL..
That is a nice ode to Chameleon...

Gah !! I just wrote out a reply all about kites, tampons, professional house breaker innerers, (they seem to prefer the term 'locksmith'), ethically challenged doctors, beer taxes and happiness candy (more tampon related stuff)-
If I can't say tampon in here I'm going to launch on a mad feminist rant!
Well... It's some grand poetic silliness for I, the reluctant jive chameleon- happy, sad, happy, sad, happy- ding ding ding- happiness won!!!

I was writing this happy thing the other morn' and after a few cra.ppy but still moderately OK days I decided that I was still pretty happy. I now have a fitting place to share... Ha!

Im so happy
The long night was cra.ppy
Insomnia hijacked my sleep
Half finished dreams (I hate that)
Fighting cats, Noisy mind thoughts and itchy skin
Spent all night harassing me!
No mind- I've got a morning mug of coffee-
Some toast and the kookaburras are
Laughing- at me and with me-
Keeping me company
Life's so jolly!
Strangers with smiles carrying loaded bags of happiness candy
Down the street.
Pots of happiness gold
In a field where millions of rainbows roll!
I'm so very happy-
I just had to share-
I'm happy like a mad lady
Who dances around her garden
in floral knickers singing to sunflowers and
rainbow lorikeets without a care...
I'm so very, very happy
Here, have some happiness candy-
I've got plenty to share
Food fight!!!! Candy in your hair

Now I've just got to figure out how to attach a picture ... Why am I the only kid born in the 80's who was raised by wolves in a technologically free cave??? My computer was a cardboard box------

from one crazed lunatic to another
