• The Ochre Iguana

  February 7, 2016, Prescott- I was happy with our Baha’i reflection meeting, this morning and I am happy for Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.  Now it’s time for a short verse, based on prompts from the Winter Scavenger Hunt.

  19. mild, ochre, bulb, tail, scale

  Have you ever been to Khamsomulb?

  A mild isle, ’tis, where grows a delightful bulb.

  The shallots on Khamsomulb feed an iguana,

  whose loving master named her Shannah.

  Shannah lives among the reddest of rocks,

  and so has developed a hue that might shock.

  She’s ochre, you see, from crown to tail,

  with nary a hint of green, not even on her scale.

  Shannah the Iguana is fed shallots and fish,

  which she knocks out, with her ochre tail’s

  Swish, swish.
