Gecko Quest

In my
far gone days
when smaller
I used to be

damp mud
dark balls of charcoal
shoe strings
and a home made whistle

were my toys
for conquering scary woods.

My monarch of all powers
and general of all struggles
was just

a plain and simple

slimy gecko
with grey spots
and a big dick.
