Her heart immune to the death knell

Her acting days now serve her well.

No dear, not for your sympathies to earn,
Nor yet that your attention can I draw,
Just as helpless infants are apt to do,
True, facing you helpless I’ve often felt.
Tears cause in me no butterflies of love,
Nor trigger love-bonds flowing well within, 
Should ye so wish, check...

We had a most horrid schoolteacher,
And us children did all hate her,
She’d shout at us for no real reason,
And threaten to see us later,
She had a dip on a Florida trip,
And was swallowed by an alligator,
But only crocodile tears were shed,
‘Cos we were all just...

Young and travelling Australia
A lovely water fall we were off to see
This water fall is a absolute must
To visit  when in the Northern Territory 

Though crocodiles have never  been sighted there
They  cannot officially say no crocodiles here
Though tourists have visited and swam...

Dreading each step I made on each tile
Spikes of bounty promises, curves of guile
With you on top, an all around the bush lie

Selfless service we forgo never denied
You repaid nothing but your useless pride
Hopes afire, spirit...

city fellas dey come to the bush,
the Crocodile barks from his moosh,(mouth)
they think they smart feller, fool ole yella,
more meat says the croc, n goes woosh,

When you feel 
No guilt whatsoever
Rolling in uproarious laughter
When you see 
Some kid "crying"
On the witness stand;
Houston does have a problem
And something 
Is really rotten

Lousy Crocodile Tears Just Let Them Fall

I wrote you and you answered me not
I sent you all my love, and all I got
Your beauty fantastic but ears are not
Went to a bar and got drunk as a sot

like Alex in 
A Clockwork Orange,
with your eyes pried permanently open 
with a mechanism built to do just that &
you were forced to look out at the terrible things happening in the world &
you could not turn your head...
