King of the Bookcases
We had another unwanted visitor tonight. Brandon was working on his laptop when he heard a noise behind him. He glanced up and what did he behold but a lizard perched atop the Ikea light on the bookcase, leering down at him.
"Wendy!" He called out, "There's a lizard in here!" He paused. "How do you get a lizard out of the house?" In his genius he grabbed a tea pitcher and a pizza box. To this the lizard simply cast down a look of contempt, and alighted the mini blinds.
That's when I joined forces with Brandon.
"Mwahaha! You are no match for me! I am king! King of the Bookcases!"
I began to pull the cord to lift the blinds while Brandon attempted to coax the lizard into the tea pitcher. The lizard didn't want to go in, even though we'd sweetened the deal by putting a piece of tulip stem and a peppercini in the bottom. He scuttered back onto the bookcase and then down the side. We cornered him with a large picture frame and a stack of books. The King of the Bookcases didn't stand a chance, for we are a formidable team. Tonight, he sleeps in the bushes.
Update: We believe the King might be a Carolina Anole.
