The Christmas Alligator
He prowl very still across
the calm merky waters
I can see him and he can
see me with his big yellow
eyes his pupils are lime
green slowly he crawls not
even shooing the cranes
from off his back he crawls
past the woodstorck perching
on one leg the tall Cypress
trees seems to

Alligator Sashay, Unabridged
Circle left, hang on tight
Don't get caught in an alligator bite
Allemande left, what you want to do
Is turn that alligator into stew
Do-si-do, listen to the band
Alligator shoes look mighty grand
Roll away to a half sashay
If you're a gator, forget what I say
Right and left grand, give a kick,
Gator eyes fall on a dancing chick
Swing your

I dreamt about an alligator
- what could that possibly mean?
Am I hoping that a lizard man
will slowly romance me?
Are my desires so primitive, so ancient
that we could come to some arraignment?
Would a silent and cold-blooded lover
be as ??considerate as any other?
Do I long for scaly fingers
to caress me up and down?
Or lust for reptile Dolce

Smitten Alligator Falls In Love
He is too smitten, totally gaga said the African lioness queen.
I have tried to dissuade him, but I am not the kind to be mean.
Why is he in love with you? Asked her brother, male Lion.
Not sure, but he says if I do not reciprocate, he might be dy’n.
African queen watched the alligator serenade her

Swamp
As I watch the rain coming down in measured bursts onto the dark waters of the vast bayou.
My mind notes the watery circles and bubbles that trace alligators asleep in the slough.
I check my lines as the sun goes down. The wind fights me at every turn, causing my boat to rock.
I've got three dead

Alligator At the Table
there might be a gator at Sunday’s table.
Don’t act surprised, if you are able.
Why does Shelly always cross-species date?
She wants to prove that she does not hate.
Why do we have to be polite to them?
They are her dates, her beaus, her men.
But a gator? I protesed. Grandma, no!
She would not budge, so I did not

Snappy the Lost Baby Alligator Gator
Once upon a time in a magical
Pond there was a
Baby alligator name Snappy
Due to a storm that quickly appeared
He was swept away from his mommy
So, he set out on a quest to find her
He came upon a pig pen, the pigs
Were scared to death when they
Saw him but then Snappy asked
Have you seen my mommy?

The Unthinkable
Some topics closed for the debater,
Not only 'Divine', 'Incubator;
For good eggs their silly layers can't hatch
For the premature babies to life catch!
Some issues defy a debater:
Whether a ship needs Navigator,
Crocodile-like the Alligator;
Terrorists like a Terminator...
To some arguments just say "later":
A waste of time writing a letter,
With the sun's heat rays farm soil wetter,
Without drugs the

Mulatto the Alligator
I've heard him sing: The Mulatto:
By fat hotter than Roberto
Like Pepper is to Pimento;
Lost to him, too, one Alberto:
The boy friend of Fine Talatu...
Alto in all shows he goes to,
Even when beats are Staccato
Or long remains The Legato...
Yes, A very Good Contralto,
Overly fond if Sweet Potato
He would eat with Mashed Tomato...
Harsh words for Irish

A Nocturnal Incident Between Pub and Home
I left the pub one night in a bit of a tizzy
and saw some kind of being like a tin lizzie.
This turned out to be a polite alligator
now on probation for having eaten a waiter.
The police left it tied to a street lamp, it seemed.
It looked so kind. how its joyful face beamed.
It

Alligator scouts still pond,
unobserved his stealth movements

sharp teeth tearing unexpecting prey
