What chameleon’s charm is this That which you fluidly display With all such things gone amiss Unscathed - you seem to slink away Gracefully your wiles will mold To fit your unsuspecting meals Using promises of love to hold Luring hearts near enough to steal And when souls lay soft and pliable Resting in your awaiting hands They - no longer independently viable Guarantee the consummation of your plans Yea, Chameleon be merrily along your way But be warned this – I am a bird of prey May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

Seems to me you have the eyes of an eagle and the soul of a poet. Well done! |

Bravo!! Bravo!! Me likes this piece much. How often in my life I have met such creatures as the one you pprtray here. I too have become a bird of prey if I detect such a beast. Again well done! |

Everytime I read this...I find a new meaning hidden within...I thought it high time to reply to it... And when souls lay soft and pliable Resting in your awaiting hands They - no longer independently viable Guarantee the consummation of your plans Yea, Chameleon be merrily along your way But be warned this – I am a bird of prey Loved those lines....
