Skinks they like to dig in ground

and where sand's all around.

Most are quite small

but some can be over a foot long.

Oh they have no real neck

and most will eat insects.

Though the ones kept as pets

also eat vegetative sets.

And they have tails that shed

when grabbed by foxes' heads.

The tail can regrow

imperfectly at best.

From the Miocene with few

to tons of species.

Neoseps lack forelimbs

it does not climb trees.

On the Solomon Isles

is the largest of these.

Young use a placenta

just like you or like me.

So keep your cats indoors

and your dogs on a leash.

They do not need to eat

skinks if you please.
