Due to the frequent requests, I am excited to announce that I have written another children’s book! This is a lighthearted account of my relationship with my many reptile companions. I hope this tale brings you as much joy as these little creatures do to me. Mazotoa. Enjoy:

Little Lizard Friends

By Nicholas Sutherland

I see the bright green bodies with red splotches on their backs,

as they run across my walls, always looking for some snacks,

which usually consist of flies, mosquitoes, and assorted bugs.

And for that, I feel like I should give them all little hugs.

Because no one likes to be bothered with buzzing by their head.

And some mosquitoes can make you sick, at least, so I’ve read.

And yes, I know, spiders also eat bugs, but of them I’m wary,

because some of them can get quite large, and thus quite scary.

Whereas these little green reptiles are not frightening at all!

In fact, it’s rather nice having them run across the wall.

And it’s nice to share my home with a creature that’s not rude,

unlike the ants, rats, and tenrecs that like to eat my food.

Now it’s for these reasons, and many more not mentioned here,

that if you have a bug problem or just want some company near,

take my advice and check out one of the hottest new trends.
