My Alligator Artie

My pet alligator sits under my feet. He waits for food to fall while I simply eat. He likes to chase the ball and bite with his sharp teeth. His claws are super pointy, and he walks upon a leash. He’s scaly without baths, Smelly when not clean. He’s very good at “sit,” And trained to not be mean. He likes the water much, except for when it rains. And when we’re gone, All day long, We keep him in a crate. My pet alligator is the best pet on this Earth, I’d never trade him ever, for everything he’s worth.
