@ the Zoo above the Casino

One of the reptilian reasons
Jen skipped this outin
g

Under this guy's drab dark feathers
hid a brilliantly colored crown:
red, yellow and orange
would flash when he was excited
A small freshwater croc
And so, the Blue Tongued Skink
is not just a clever name

"And by the way, Mom,
I forgot to tell you that when
the presenter was just
about to show us another reptile,
the blue tongued skink,
I think it was,
a bird landed on her head!"
