"I’m Larry the lizard
I stand on this stone
There's no-one around
I'm completely alone
I'm well camouflaged
Coloured beige, black and grey
So warm in the sun
It's a baking hot day
I have to keep still
And pretend I'm not here
Especially when
Any insects are near
And then when a big fly
Comes buzzing around
I'll flick out my tongue
And gobble it down!"
— Linda Lee, Spain
