Thanks for getting that straightened out and for my great win. Actually I meant a real crocodile in this poem but I guess the croc as a shoe can also work!

Dear Andrea, When I first read your poem, for some reason it went to crocodile. Then I logically thought, no, it must be a type of shoe. Lol!! Blessings, Dear Andrea, Daniel

Yes. I know. It took a LOT of thought to match good rhyming words and then come up with a title. Crikey. Originally I was just gonna call this Sock Croc until I got the dum idea. Haha
