On the Inadvisability of Keeping a Crocodile As Pet

He took a crocodile as pet,

ordered on the internet.

Fed Ex brought the little brute,

so harmless looking and so cute.

As little creatures tend to do,

his companion grew and grew,

as did its appetite, forsooth,

much too much, to tell the truth.

Lest my ending should appall

I will spare the details all.

Let dogs and cats and little mice

as our household friends suffice.
