Basilicine
Once I sat beside a pond
And saw something that was beyond
Anything that I had ever seen,
A basilisk lizard that streaked
Across the pond upon its feet
And back to me to say, "Hello, I'm Dean."
"Pleased to meet you, Dean" I squeaked
Almost way too shocked to speak,
"How did you walk upon the water so?"
I could see him pondering
About his type of wandering
When finally he said, "I do not know!
"Except I think that you will find
It is a thing basilicine
Lizards like myself do easily,
Would you like to have a go?"
He asked to which I told him no,
"Us humans don't have the ability."
And just like that he turned to go
Across the pond he skimmed pronto
Reminding me of someone else I know,
For I found out another name
For this lizard is the name
In Spanish "lagarto de Jesus Cristo"
