Wizard Lizard

I was nothing but a small lizard
livin' happily with mom en dad
They had called me baby wizard
I never used to do anything bad
We lived inside a gracious home
A pretty hole in a human house wall
Also I had a sister; they loved us both
Mom said I was still growin' tall
So everything was as happy as we were
Life was a sacred gift sent from heaven
I was taught to keep away from the seven deadly sins
And also to run away from all the human beings

It was upon a rainy day
I was playing that I lost my way
Then I was packed in a box suddenly
The human family had to move unexpectedly
But my parents didn't know I was lost
Tomorrow the raindrops would turn to frost
So they moved into a new flat
I was in the box near a fat rat
She aimed to eat me at once
But I sobbed and begged her twice
Then they opened the packs
The lady was afraid of rats
She screamed and we escaped
Far from where we were kept
I kissed the rat on the cheek
She called me such a freak!
Then I found a hole in the kitchen wall
Away from mom, dad, sister, and my ball
So I got used to livin' alone
Inside a damn damp hole
All I needed was a loyal friend
I realized it lying on my bed
So I tried coming out and finding one
They were all afraid of me even their son
Just as I got out of the hole
They tried to run away or kill me, so
I went on another month this way
Still I remembered mom say:
Friendship is the greatest gift we find
But why did they all try to hide?!

One spring day I was lying on the wall
That I heard a sweet whisper’s call
I turned my head a little
To find a tiny beetle
She was so sweet en shy
I’d found her in the middle of the sky
So we made friends and again
I found hopes to pray to heaven
We decided to find our way back home
A new house in the woods, a new hole!
We married and had 3 daughters
A mix of lizards and black beetles
Now you understand why they called me a wizard
Coz after all, I’m nothing now but an old crazy lizard!
