Crocodiles and Alligators


"Crocodiles are pleasant creatures"
That's a lot of croc
There's nothing pleasant about their features
Their Skin's as hard as rock

On no special diets
They'll eat what comes their way
Causing much disquiet
With their threatening display

Another ominous agitator
Is their dragon-kissing cousin
The hard-nose lizard alligator
Who would love us for his luncheon

Between the two, I must admit
I have no solid preference
My druthers would be pups or kits
Who show me greater deference

This is delightful . . . I'm saving it for my grandson. Just last night my son and daughter-in-law were debating whether the character on my grandson's onesie was a croc or gator.
