Rest in Peace ... Splat

Dear Splat

It was real nice to get to know you with my mates from Canada and England. It was a brief encounter and I hope we were a decent passing view before you left us for the chameleon heavens above.

You were one of the cutest little creatures ... eyeballing us and dancing across the road in your slow, animated and unique way. Unfortunately our language barrier (such a common thing in Africa) hindered your progress in life as you failed to listen to our cries of encouragement to reach the other side of the road ... but you did do well to dodge the first few vehicles - better than I could ever have done!

Lastly also apologies for our laughter afterwards ... maybe it was just our way of coping with the loss ... but you must admit in the greater picture of things around it was a sweet, traumatic, but also a real funny encounter.

RIP and we'll remember you for a long time!
