" IGUANA "

They climb, they love to climb
It's helped them to survive
Powerful legs and arms
Colors, that truly charm
As well as help them to disguise
Their emotional set backs
And their sexual self expression
Where both can be found oozing
And blooming, in tropical environs
Much like men that way
Take their mate to the beach
To participate
In their second favorite thing
Swim, they love to swim
It's helped them to survive
Also helped them to escape
When their companion asks
"Won't you have me as your wife?"
Then their colors change abruptly
And they simply scurry away
Funny thing is
They're much like men that way.....
