The Hatted Gecko
I met a leopard gecko
who owned a lot of hats.
One looked like a fedora
but with drawn-out little rats.
Another was made of candy
with Reese’s in the middle
but it you saw it from the side
it looked like an old fiddle.
His favorite was the blue one,
which he wore every Monday,
but he once forgot to wash it
and it got stained with sundae.
He used to own a pink one
and a fancy black top hat
but both of those got stolen
by a pesky little cat.
If you ever need advice
when getting ready for a date,
go pay his house a visit,
he’ll be waiting by the gate.
And if you see him on the street,
feel free to stop on by.
He’ll likely try to show you
the world’s largest hat supply!
who owned a lot of hats.
One looked like a fedora
but with drawn-out little rats.
Another was made of candy
with Reese’s in the middle
but it you saw it from the side
it looked like an old fiddle.
His favorite was the blue one,
which he wore every Monday,
but he once forgot to wash it
and it got stained with sundae.
He used to own a pink one
and a fancy black top hat
but both of those got stolen
by a pesky little cat.
If you ever need advice
when getting ready for a date,
go pay his house a visit,
he’ll be waiting by the gate.
And if you see him on the street,
feel free to stop on by.
He’ll likely try to show you
the world’s largest hat supply!
