The skink: The vanilla white reptile

In western Australia with the great gritty gravel

In where it burrows amongst its travel

With a belly of white

Which is extremely bright.

Sucking up termites with a mouth like a vacuum

A slithering reptile with reasonable value

A desert sprinter with a desire to strive

It’s very endangered please help it to thrive.

The great desert skink with the dusty red back

Its survival is attacked

Five thousand are left.

We must fight for them.
