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.
