TA DA, there appears Amanda Salamander

Way down deep in the Murkylurky Goo

Animals live like people do

Sloshing, slipping and taking a gander. . .

TA DA, there appears Amanda Salamander

*******

Amanda is her name, she shines like the sun

She wants to be friends with everyone

This unique salamander changes colors

And YOU might too!

Just like chameleons do.

*******

But Amanda's color starts shedding

And Norton wonders what kind of wife

he is getting?

"WHO ARE YOU?" Norton cries.

"Amanda should be at my side."

"Don't worry Norton," she sighs.

"I'm still the same salamander inside!"

*******

You said you'd swim,

you said you'd be true.

We said happily ever after

but now we're both blue."

"Before our wedding,

in your bright carrot color,

you looked like ME

but you changed to another"

"Sunshine am I.

That's all I can be.

YOU should be golden

And ACT JUST LIKE ME.

Your feet are still rotten

You smell like a louse.

When you walk in the door

You stink up the house."

*******

"He wants a carrot,

should I pretend to be that?

I need the shine of the sun

on my back.

If I can't be orange,

And he can't be yellow

Then why do my insides

jiggle like Jello?"



The more she thinks,

the more she cries,

because she knows

how hard she tries



So what went wrong?

She does not know.

Can she ever make her hurt feelings go?

She feels as if there is no hope

"I wonder if I have been a dope."

*******

Amanda, happiness shines from the inside out,

and that shows others what YOU are about.

It's fun to accept friends just as they are,

So everyone shines like their VERY OWN star!"



*******

If you visit the Murkylurky Goo

take a gander

And see if you can spy

this sunshiny salamander



Amanda decides

she will not be blue

What color will she choose to be?

What color are YOU?
