An Alligator Poem of Course

An Alligator Poem of Course Fed potent sweet potaters to some alligators Who later in life liked to and became demonstrators And will all swim along in water single file When opening long mouth have a languishing smile. Back and forth each one will wiggle long tail While on wide back while wear many a scale Big eyes out of water both are protruding While branches and stumps will be eluding. Alligators have own way of doing things And with whole body each of them brings An eye considered to be a constant rover Always liking to look for a leftover. An alligator never will want to alienate Or while at it start to or try and agitate Mouths become unruly like a rubber stamp Putting impressions on you when down do clamp. Sounds like a North Carolina Politician of one sort or another. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran Bolivia, NC

Thanks heavens, the Florida politicians aren't as visible as the golf alligators. Fun poem, James.
