  7. I see lizard in the sun
    I prefer lizard on the run

  8. Pio-quite the gourmande!
    I-3 Annas or 3 lizards?
    P-funny!
    And for all you brave eaters, something by Ogden Nash:
    A gourmet once challenged me to eat
    A tiny bit of rattlesnake meat
    Remarking, "Don't look horror stricken,
    You'll find it tastes a lot like chicken."
    It did.
    Now chicken I cannot eat
    Because it tastes like rattlesnake meat.
