Now that I've used up all my ideas
|
Here in my little house by the sea
|
I search for a usable memory but none comes to me
|
|
In grade one, my teacher could do embalming
|
She'd stuff the bodies of dead little birds
|
She told us if ever we found one, just to bring it to her
|
|
And in the science room was an iguana
|
It lay very still in its cage
|
And we'd feed him living flies
|
|
Then she'd read the old testament to us
|
But first she'd remind us the stories were true
|
And we'd hear of locusts and plagues and the tortures they knew
|
|
And in the science room was an iguana
|
I remember it now in my house by the seaside
