If you asked me about the best reptile
the Chameleon's the coolest by far.
His tongue is long, thin and projectile,
he can lick the crevasses of a jam jar.
He sees his prey (which is chiefly insectile)
with swivelling eyes that look somewhat bizarre.
His tail is almost fully prehensile,
he can hear well without needing sonar.
He sways as he walks like a drunk man
and uses colour to signal his mood,
just beware if he turns a bright cyan,
it means he's being terribly rude.
The chameleon is the best lizard you'll meet;
struggles to buy shoes with zygodactylous feet.LM

This is possibly the first use of 'zygodactylous' in all of English poetry.
