Crocodiles

?Why do you smile so? Are you in possession of a terrible secret? Your calm demeanor and intelligent eyes, what are you thinking about? You're smiling when you're resting. You're smiling when you're swimming. Even when you greet your neighbors. No one is a stranger to you. Crocodile, why do you smile? Do you like having you picture taken? Do you like being on t.v.? Other media? When I look in your eyes for the answer, I'm certain, without a doubt the reason you smile is that you know something I don't. Yes, you possess a terrifying secret. I won't press you for an answer. I won't enter your courtyard without permission, or be so bold as to demand a reason as to why you are smiling at me.
