Is there a moral … ? (IP)

A fable lazy lizard lived
in the valley of the Lugg;
too lazy to reach out to catch
a nice nuitritious bug.
He grew more weak,
less slick and sleek –
when danger was perceived
too feeble, lazy to retreat
to a refuge safe and snug;
so lost his tail (to no avail)
– still wouldn’t scoot away:
that lazy lizard chose to stay
and did not see another day,
for a watchful busy buzzard pounced
upon its idle prey.

Hi
Hi
Goodness, here I am with a blank slate for commenting on. That doesn't happen very often with your work.
I really enjoyed reading this little fable about the lazy lizard and busy buzzard. It would be a nice one to use with young children - who would enjoy the rhythym of it and understand the moral.

What a beginning!

One of yours that has to be said :0) Just the sounds make me smile
Your previous comment shows me how much thought you put into your sounds, the soft beats and hard beats. I admire this talent so much, you use them like an artist does shapes and colours. I liked pounce where it was. It is strange how a word can have more power just from where it is!
