Crocodile Hunter
Amazing man, amazing legacy.
Do you know what you have done
In this world, you are the only one-
Some called you crazy, some called you wild
It didn’t matter-
You craved those daring adventures and
Did it with a smile.
Born in a world alien to most
You brought us amazement, terror, laughter
Playing daily from coast to coast.
From Down Under
The Crocodile Hunter
Folks scratching their heads,
perplexed in wonder…
“Must be staged!” some claimed,
Yet to see you in action
We knew it was real
By your look of intense satisfaction-
Unknown savior for millions of herps
You brought the wicked snake to a new light
Taught truths where fantasy and lies did abide
Flawless art with intention was your key
Alacrity…immortality…calamity
Stung through the heart
Under the sea, from the most
Amiable of creatures-
Your demise was a worldwide despondency.
Amazing man, amazing legacy
Advocate for truth
The gift you brought to the world
Shall live on forever -
Through your beloved daughter, Bindie Sue.
Dedicated to Steve Irwin
