Smiling Faces

Those Crocodiles with toothy smiles
And Alligators too
Will don their most alluring look
When you come into view
They seem to say “come over here
And talk with us a while,
We’re really rather friendly,
Oh, see the way we smile”

So never trust a smiling Croc
Nor grinning Alligator  
Just smile and wave or wave and smile
And say you’ll see them later
They may seem very pleasant
But do not be taken in
By their softly spoken words 
Or mental dental grin
