I am a green iguana
Roaming at the zoo
Unattended feeding troughs
Are my dream come true.
When elephants are busy
I climb up a tree
Drop into their habitat
To munch on all I see.
I watch where I am going
Quick to get-a-way
When keepers try to catch me
I live another day.
If temperatures are chilly
Cover up your head
Watch out for falling reptiles
That look like they are dead.
I traveled here from Cuba
Onboard a cargo ship
I’ve found food and freedom
Miami’s really hip!
Tourists stare at animals
Confined within a space
But they look twice when they see me
Marching place to place.

Thankfully I’ve never witnessed a frozen iguana falling out of a tree. That would be quite a shock.

Some of these iguanas are huge. I wouldn’t want one to drop on me. From what i’ve read, they aren’t really dead, just stunned. They come to life when they warm up and crawl off. Thanks for your comment and I’m sorry it took so long for me to reply.
