irony of the situation

rhymeWe were on the freeway the other day, Mummy, my aunt, and I, heading back from Milliani into town.
That was when my aunt noticed a small lizard on the winshield wiper.
It was a tiny thing, perhaps an inch, an inch and a half long, colored in a translucent green. We think that it might have been a gecko or a chameleon, and it was very, very cute.
The little lizard was holding on with all of it's might. It was partially shielded from the wind, but it looked like it was wavering. Although I did not look away, few seconds later, it was on another part of the windshield wiper. It kept trying to climb, and we kept hoping it wouldn't.
When it got swept up by the wind, I shrieked like a girl.
The lizard landed on the windshield itself- we couldn't tell whether it was a better or worse position, but we decided that we should take the next exit to let it off.
And, well, the breeze caused by changing lanes swept it away.
So I suppose that it's dead by now. I can't see any way that it would have survived. We were very sad.
