Tell me now -
Give me a clue.
Tell me just what
Is a name for you?
You are cute,
That much is true.
But what you are
I wish I knew…
A curious guy
You were not afraid
Put out your claw
For me you stayed.
And there I was
"Justa clickin'"
By your odd face
I was stricken.
You are not my dragon.
You are not a snake.
So what are you now
For goodness sake?

Your Answer My Dear…
"I am a water monitor
And I may be cute
But you better run
Before I give pursuit.
I am quite curious
- Your sense is laggin’
Because I do grow up
To be your ‘dragon’.
Right now I am small
I am not very old
But when I mature
I will be quite bold.
I live near water
And have big claws
And I get much better
At using my jaws.
I am just a toddler
Of the dragon you seek
But when I grow up
I could be 9 feet!
Now a monitor I am
And dragon I’m not -
But you might think so
When put on the spot.

Because you will see
That I’m very fast
Even climbing a tree!"
