Notes About The Poem

Alligator Neith Weeping Willow

Blame CayCay for giving me the idea for this - lol 

Alligator, 'neith the weeping willow,
what makes you want to cry?
May I offer you a pillow?
You are so sad.  Please, tell me why!

"Twas then I found they were croc tears -
when he ate up my head, 
after removing both my ears, 
which heard, "I'm sad because you're dead".

Well, I like humor, David, but both those reptiles are dangerous critters that you don't want to be around. Read, see or hear about horror stories quite often here in the south that involves alligator attacks. Sara K.

Yep, maybe I shouldn't make light of alligators. I've read those stories too.
