The Lizard On The Peacock's Head

I've had just enough time...   to chase the lizard from the peacock's head

 Taken of the magnificent peacock at the entrance to Fairy Park, Klang, Malaysia

I asked the lizard

What is it doing

On the peacock’s head?

The lizard said

No one looks at me

But all at the peacock instead

So I climbed on its head

The Lizard is vying for attention on the peacock's head

But they are not looking at you

They are looking at what on its head!

You don’t get it, do you?

They are still looking at the LIZARD

On the peacock’s head

The peacock is not too pleased, who would?

But the lizard doesn't care...

 

Everyone is looking at it, that's all that matters to him even if it is undeserving

The World Has No Need of Another Peacock.

I've had just enough time...   to accept me for what I am.

 "Dear robin," said this sad young flower,
"Perhaps you'd not mind trying
To find a nice white frill for me,
Some day when you are flying?"

"You silly thing!" the robin said;
"I think you must be crazy!
I'd rather be my honest self
Than any made-up daisy.

 "You're nicer in your own bright gown,
The little children love you;
Be the best buttercup you can,
And think no flower above you.

 "Though swallows leave me out of sight,
We'd better keep our places;
Perhaps the world would all go wrong
With one too many daisies.

 "Look bravely up into the sky,
And be content with knowing
That God wished for a buttercup
Just here, where you are growing."
"Discontent" - Sarah Orne Jewett

I learn to appreciate

What I am.

A tiny flower

With a tenacity to grow

On hard surfaces.
