The Lizard Market
Prompt: Lizard's Need Love Too!!!
Sam's Tail Part: 3
So I got moved into my new pad
it's right off the lake
Living here is not so bad
But it's so lonely when I wake
So, I'm thinking, about putting myself on the market
I'm tired of being solo
But finding a girl these days ain't spit
They all be rocking that yolo
My cousin Jim, keeps trying to play matchmaker
He says, your only a young lizard once
But I haven't found the right taker
And I've been through a bunch
I thought about logging on to, "Lizard's Only"
But I'm afraid of what I'll find
Damn, this lizard's, tired of being lonely
But these girls are out of there minds
I decided to forget about my troubles at the bar
So I drove out to the Lilly Pad
I didn't have to travel far
Before I started to feel sad
I ordered another shot
Lost in my troubled brain
It hit my stomach like boiling rot
I must be going insane
I ran out of the bar to hail a taxi
It was pouring down cold, white rain
A girl ran out in front of me
Her idea must have been the same
She said, oh, I'm sorry, you take this one
I can definitely wait
I said ,sharing one could be fun
Then neither one of us will be late
The air smelled of stale perfume
The cab was nice and warm
There was plenty of room
To contain this quiet storm
She said her name was Daisy
Like the wildflower
She was wide open and free
Like a June spring shower
I pulled up to my spot and whispered goodbye
She said, hey, can I call u sometime
I would love to see you again
My heart, jumped out of this rhyme
I just looked at her and grinned
Fate got delivered by a taxi
On a rainy night in June
This must be destiny
I guess we'll find out soon
