King Skink Mt Clarence sits, near Albany town Where local wildlife, can gaze on down And on a day, when the sun is bright If you’re lucky, to see us you might Look at me, I’m the King of this rock Of all I survey, I’m taking stock I’m big and black, and have a long tail Compared to me, my cousins are frail Most humans stare, but worry me not For I’m truly happy, with my lot I love to bask, in the noon day sun From birds of prey only, do I run I love the sun, but just hate the rain These rocky outcrops, are my domain Others of my tribe, do live here too Where else is there, such a glorious view My genus is large, and quite complex Has the ability, to perplex For a name to call me, you might think There is none that’s better, than King Skink
