A creature small, out of the corner of my eye, Greg the bathroom gecko, roams free,
Agile, he comes and goes as he pleases, and in the bathroom, he sits by me.
Amidst the echo of the dripping tap, with eyes like beads, and skin so sleek,
Greg roams, avoiding mishaps with his silent movements, nimble and meek.
A minuscule wanderer in the night, with suction-cup feet on cool, smooth walls,
An unnoticed dweller in the soft moonlight. Greg the gecko explores bathroom halls.
In his kingdom of porcelain, he navigates, a master of finesse, a bathroom sprite,
Emerging from the cracks in the corners after dark, where he feeds in the night.
Catching glimpses of fluttering moths, chomp. He hums them a last lullaby,
And in the quietude, he dines under moonlit beams, where he’ll quietly spy on you and I.
His presence known to those who care, Greg, the gecko with a secret domain,
A bathroom companion, rare and fair. In porcelain kingdoms, may he ever reign.
