Desert Spiny Lizard — Image by kenne
You know my mother told me the story,
About that spiny lizard that couldn’t see too well:
He was sunning on a rock,
When a coachwhip grabbed his tail
He turned around just to peep over the rock
And she said he almost lost his whole head,
Trying to find a little piece of tail
That’s why I’m going down,
My nose is in the sand
A cloud of dust just came over me
And now I think I’m drowning on dry land
— kenne’s version of the Blues song “Drowning On Dry Land,” by Al Jackson, Jr.
