Manna From Heaven

The crocs were lined around the rim,
catching a nap after their swim,
until hearing, "Wake up guys,
supper's falling from the skies.
I'll race you for a share of him".



Inspired by Carolyn' contest  4th place

I like this and the title is winning. I could see a berserk version of this on Benny Hill or Saturday Night Live. Regards, Gerard
