Fresh Feast
Fresh Feast
Beneath the water
Swimming in the deep lagoon
Fearless reptiles search each day
Wanting precious prey,
Power jaws and thrashing tails
Kill while victims weep and wail.
Alligator's feast--
When all babies have hatched out,
Hatchlings hunt and swim about
Mother watching near
Floating leaves attract her young.
Basking asleep in the sun.
