On the Southern Alligator Farm

Down south on the small alligator farm
Alligators grown to size to alarm
All the workers there too scared
Of young gators as they aired
Parachuted food to keep them from harm

(Inspired by Carolyn's picture but not entry.)

Ahhh, you took it in a different way, being compassionate to the gators. I liked that! Luv Andrea

You should have entered this. I like the image of the workers drawing lots to see who wears the parachute. Ha Ha Ha. There's a winning thought. Regards, Gerard
