green house iguanas (haiku)

by Alison McKenzie

When iguanas freeze
Falling right off their branches
It's a wake up call

Author's Note: Too cold in Florida. Think we ought to pay attention?

I like Kus and this one is both humorous and a warning!

I'm in the "this was funny" camp. That's just my kind of humor. I really do get the seriousness behind it, but after crazy climate effects like this keep showing up in the news week after week, I think one can fall into a snide sort of resignation. I little tricky humor can serve to wake one up. Great stuff!

CONGRATULATIONS on POTD. And who says there's no such thing as global warming?

LOL! Wow that must be cold. Makes me wonder how even the crows can stay perched on the trees up here.
