Read the poem and answer the following questions.

I like the friendly lizard

Who lives inside my room The Lizard
He’s very thin and dusty
And brown as a broom A poem by Cheryl Lee

He never goes too far away

But waits nearby until
I feed him little tidbits
Upon my window-sill

He’s fond of eating mosquitoes

And little bit of crumbs
And when he’s very happy
He always chirps and hums
