Everyone knows about the Geico Gecko, but what about this Gecko? Seven year-old Roberto Rubio-Ojeda introduces his friend in the poem below. This piece shows us the fun of rhyming, something that children of all ages enjoy.
THE GECKO
A Gecko is sticky,
It can climb on a wall.
It can't stay forever.
Sooner or later it will fall.
A gecko's color is bright shiny green.
What if it was dark green?
Perhaps it would be mean!
A Gecko can't fly
Into the sky.
It if was sick and it was my pet,
I would take it to a vet.
A Gecko is big.
But not like a pig.
The Gecko is long,
But it's not very strong.
We can go on a walk,
But he can't really talk.
I will defend my friend
To the very end!
