Snap

There once was a big alligator It got out of an elevator A very loud yell The voice rang a bell His mate was on the travelator His mate was a communicator And said, ‘I said I’d see you later I’m hungry of course I could eat a horse Straight out of a refrigerator I’ll settle for a baked potater With minced beef and cheese from a grater And what could be finer I spot me a diner I hope for a ’gator they cater’ That hungry pair of alligators Found all the staff were reptile haters No meat on the menu At this veggie venue And that’s why they ate all the waiters

Thanks, Rico. A little voice in my head is telling me you meant another poem as I’m not too sure that ‘Snap’ is... well... snappy! ;-) Terry

Love the string of gator limericks it sounds like a monorhyme verse pretty catchy.

Thanks, Eve. It did start out monorhyme-ish but I decided to go limerick... which if anything, made it more difficult. Terry

Thank you Kim. I’m just pleased that no one has pointed out that you don’t spell ‘potato’ like that! ;-) Terry

Thanks, Jan. That one’s actually new. It won’t be Poem of the year but maybe it will help oil a few of my rusted brain cells. Terry
