Crocodiles do not swim here,
at least the ones who read.
But as for the illiterate,
they mostly come to feed.

Crocodiles not live
On swamps and rivers only
In all streets too.

A mighty ancient predator a reptilian that’s highly feared,
distinct among its peers deserves to be revered.
Basking on river banks seeking the sun’s warmth,
but when it comes to mating it’s best in thunderstorms.
Crocs are deadly hunters that feed on every prey,
in swamps and muddy waters they live and like to stay.
They stealthily move in silence and engulf or seize their prey,
they spin their bodies to tear apart the flesh of game they slay.
Crocs are opportunistic feeders,
in darkness can find their way,
with the smell of blood and taste of meat they like to start their day.

couples of crocodiles eyes
cats eyes in wild too

The Titanic is loading now at the White House dock
Smiling alligators and crocodiles boarding unaware
Theirs will be a voyage with no survivors
The Lord, no Charge d'affaires

Crocodiles now found on beaches

Cold-blooded reptiles with
Conical teeth, scales, and
Clawed webbed toes, these cunning
Carnivorous creatures
Capture prey with ease. They
Can kill with strong jaws. Take
Care wading through a swamp!

Crocododiles have their place too
You can't cuddle a crocodile
I strongly advise you not to bathe in the Nile.
If cuddle you must
out of affection or lust
choose a bunny or teddy bear.
Of big bears like grizzlies beware!
This world's a very big place,
for all sorts there's plenty of space.
So what does Mother Nature expect?
That to crocodiles we at least show respect.

To the cage crocodiles, with all might,
Someone threw a big piece dynamite
Only thunder was die
Children's joyful cry:-
" Look! Reptiles can fly! Am I right?"

Feed em to the crocodiles
Cameron and his Tory liars
Their monstrous atrocities
make crocs come across all soft and fluffy
They like to give us someone to blame
the jobless ,the homeless, the sick and the lame
cause otherwise we might get it together
to add up their crimes ,to suss their sick game
so let's feed em to the crocodiles
The people of the British isles
were daft enough to believe their lies
so desperate for a bit of hope
they gave those Tory cuntz their vote
and now that the factories and the library's shut down
and the workers lay down their tools
and the shite that they happily shove down our throats
that their companies sell us to keep us all fools
their rich snouts are stuck in the troughs on our tables
greedily stealing the food from the country's less able
So let's feed em to the crocodiles
for this I'd walk for miles and miles
to hear an enormous gruesome crunch
of a sweet fitting end to this Orrible bunch

I can cry for mankind
I try to stop but it's like
open eyes of salt and sand,
images submerged in bloody water
I weep for humanity,
for the screaming and the slaughter
its sad vulgarity
Oh this evolved fear
is no friend of mine
Useless damn things,
like teeth in famine
prayers in war or those
rituals for dead and dying
Knowing this, is nothing anyway
We, innocent of the the stars living,
holding tight in our dream in dark,
or vain wishes in day, staring into the past
Guilty as the rest, heavily burdened
by some terminal mark

?Why do you smile so?
Are you in possession of a terrible secret?
Your calm demeanor and intelligent eyes,
what are you thinking about?
You're smiling when you're resting.
You're smiling when you're swimming.
Even when you greet your neighbors.
No one is a stranger to you.
Crocodile, why do you smile?
Do you like having you picture taken?
Do you like being on t.v.?
Other media?
When I look in your eyes for the answer,
I'm certain, without a doubt
the reason you smile is that
you know something I don't.
Yes, you possess a terrifying secret.
I won't press you for an answer.
I won't enter your courtyard without permission,
or be so bold as to demand a reason
as to why you are smiling at me.
