Watch her as her colours change
And marvel at their vivid range
She will be who you want her to be
She will show you what you want to see,
Watch her scales glisten with pools
Of iridescent colour that shines and cools
Tempered with tears of obstinate gloom
She will mould their form to make room
For mountains of heartfelt sympathy
Doled out kindly without a fee;
Her true form hidden among the leaves
With every mocking sigh she heaves
A whisper of true intentions cold
Escapes the guarded stronghold
And breathes a rumour of cruel intent
Of prey consumed after its will is bent.

Watch this flighty creature strange
And marvel at its wondrous range
That beats the brains of mighty foe
Enthralling, in its pretty and clever show,
Watch its eye move over terrain
Thriving where weak-willed remain
She will be who you want her to be
She will show you what you want to see.
