Crocodile Dream

Crocodile Dream I wandered down a murky hall the slime so green it covered all the water half way up the wall but I just didn't care... This place deserted in a swamp held one surprise or two round a corner what's that hump a crocodile's brown hue ... I somehow knew he'd let me pass three strides his length did measure he said the cows don't eat our grass no meat for me displeasure... As I passed I spied a tag upon his tail that wagged 1994 released it said "I'm free" of course he bragged... On looking back just now I know he never spoke a word the thoughts within my mind did flow his accent slightly slurred... I passed from sight into a room and spoke to someone there we both agreed the Croc. did need the meat of cows done rare... On my return the Croc. did speak "No cows for me tonight The lost children I must eat I don't want to its not right."... He slipped away across the hall where children wandered lost a meal or two stopped hungers call much pain the Croc. did cost... A dog did bark and I did wake as running footsteps fall the sound that only children make no Crocodiles at all...... A dream Chris remembered & related to me? Before she ran off with my wife stealing cousin Wayne in 98 But she must still care she gave me the house Don Johnson
