Poor lizard you don't look so well.
You've an impressive bit of belly swell.
I wonder if you're expecting
or perhaps your body is rejecting
your new scaly tail?
I talked with you for awhile
but for my photo you refuse to smile!
So I look you in the eye
wish you well and goodbye
we'll try again tomorrow.

Yes, I think that it is as well, just due to the massive belly this one had, although the photo doesn't capture that part well, thanks for commenting
