The Alligator

One day I saw an alligator, He said, "May I take a bite? Your fingers look real juicy And your legs will fill my appetite." I said, "No way Al baby, My fingers are so handy, My legs I need for walking In your swamp where it's so sandy." I said, "What about you alligator, Can you do without your skin? You see I want an alligator bag To put my school things in." He said, "You must be joking My skin's a very vital part, It keeps the mossies and the snakes From acting far too smart." After that we were good friends, Sometimes around the swamp I ride, Although my seat is very knobbly Al makes a great swamp guide. -more poems like this can be found at: kidscomedypoetry.com.au
