Over Sydney town, tested and tried.' Yet still not bested.' The taxman wanted to make him
Pay up' yet in the end?? Houges; just shot 'em down.'!

Crocodile Symbiosis

The crocodile smile is such a pretty sight
as the Egyptian Plover keeps his teeth
pearly white and shiny bright
"Open wide," are words heard from the bird
his dental hygienist who picks and pecks
then eats the meaty spicks and specks
and as the crocodile sheds old choppers
(no tears)
so the avian's not unemployed or at a loss
the croc constantly grows

Premium MemberCrocodile Rock

My heart leapt with all joy, still does, with doe eyes.
Back in that day, before I knew Elton’s face, the sighs

of my sister and I, as we lie in our parents bed,
hours of tuning in to the sounds we were fed.

My heart leapt with all joy, as this Middlesex man
belted out this timebomb tune. Pop

a cross between
 a crocodile and a washing machine

a cross between
 a poorly snowman and a pot of cream

a cross between
 a flamboyant preacher and a magazine

a cross between
 an athlete and a runner bean
 
a cross between
 a walrus and a beauty queen

a cross between
 a sleeping sloth and a figurine

Premium MemberHeavy Metal Crocodile

Politics have swallowed his laughter and smile
he's deaf to any other point of view
head banging like a heavy metal crocodile
while stroking a harp from his pristine pew

His bitterness is like a pissed off tarantula
fangs raised high above star-spangled heads
of those with a different colored mantra
he labels all of them the living dead.
 
In another time

Crocodile

My classroom has a pet crocodile
A protector of the class
he's a hunter of bass
And a gentleman scholar
He cares about your grades.
invests in the arts, attends school plays
and greets the students everyday 
he’s a mainstay...
he plays a lot of roles,
wears a lot of hats
fills holes in education and
plugs gaps
On a single day
he may play ...
the role

Premium Memberhow long is the largest saltwater crocodile

How long is the largest saltwater crocodile?
If you want to know, you can see her for yourself.
She lives in the Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary in Issa, India.
Would you like to guess?

Even after you see her, I doubt you will get it right.
She is twenty-three foot long.
Others have reported seeing a thirty-three foot crocodile.
But this has never

What you desire
is on the other side of crocodile river
but you've no float and burned the bridge
but if you really want it, just dip right in.
what you desire is on the other side of the fire
on crocodile river.

What you need 
is often on the same side
just within a heartbeat
where speckled bird shines
where the flowers grow

Premium Memberno one bothers her now

She will never fall out of love with her crocodile
He followed her home from the River Nile
The old folks home won’t take this wench.
So she and her crock sit outside on a bench.

Does she need to go to a home? Someone asked.
I doubt it, no one bothers her now said Flat McGlasked.
The croc is her

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
Dawn marched in, my mind cleared right up
I then drank my coffee from golden cup
No, I did not

Bite

Mostly seen when there is a bitter fight,
Victory more important than shown might;
One’s rival a completely hateful sight
Whether he lived or died a matter light…

Watching a crocodile’s one turns white,
A shark’s to other marine lives a plight
When lion goes for it my own lips tight
The child who bites another its peers slight…

After one has been

Crocodile River

Crocodile river, 
When
         a lion roar 
                       in the jungle,
Many  
         animals
                     tremble, 
But 
      when 
               it
                 is tirtsty, 
And 
      go to the 
                 Crocodile river
