Hi everyone! So I'm going to be blogging about my favourite poet and the poem they wrote!
My poet is Brian Moses and he wrote Walking with my Iguana! Here are the lyrics for it!
I’m walking with my iguana
I’m walking with my iguana
When the temperature rises to above eighty-five,
my iguana is looking like he’s coming alive.
So we make it to the beach, my iguana and me,
then he sits on my shoulder as we stroll by the sea. . .
And I’m walking with my iguana
Well if anyone sees us we’re a big surprise,
My iguana and me on our daily exercise,
Till somebody phones the local police,
Says I’ve got an alligator tied to a leash.
When I’m walking with my iguana
I’m walking with my iguana
It’s the spines on his back that make him look grim,
But he just loves to be tickled under his chin.
And I know that my iguana is ready for bed
When he puts on his pyjamas and lays down his sleepy head.
And I’m walking with my iguana
Still walking with my iguana
With my iguana
With my iguana
And my piranha
And my Chihuahua
And my chinchilla,
With my gorilla,
My caterpillar…
And I’m walking…with my iguana…with my iguana…with my iguana…
Here, you can listen to it as well!
