Chameleons and I

I don’t have a pet chameleon
Which is probably for the best
Since I would run that chameleon
Through an all-inclusive test.

What does a chameleon
Change its color to
If it’s put in a room full of mirrors?
That’s on what my mind does stew.

And can you still watch tv
If chameleons cover your screen?
Can a blind chameleon imitate
Things that it has never seen?

And are some chameleons lazy
That after they change their color, say,
They lack the motivation to change
And just keep their scales that way?

I’ll never get a chameleon
As this poem will attest
For if I did the chameleon
And I would never rest.
