Bill the Lizard is a character introduced in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." This peculiar reptilian character is encountered during the chaotic trial scene in the Queen of Hearts' court. Bill is initially called as a witness but ends up being placed on trial himself. Known for his clumsy and befuddled nature, Bill the Lizard adds an element of absurdity to the already nonsensical proceedings.

In the trial, Bill the Lizard is accused of writing the nonsensical poem "You Are Old, Father William." However, the poem was actually written by Lewis Carroll himself and recited by the White Rabbit during the trial. Bill's confused and hapless demeanor contributes to the humorous and whimsical atmosphere of Wonderland, where logic is often turned on its head.

While Bill the Lizard may not be as iconic as some of the other characters in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," his role in the trial scene showcases Carroll's penchant for creating bizarre and memorable characters that contribute to the overall fantastical tapestry of Wonderland.
