About that gator recommended by a New Orleans waiter

Said a handsome New Orleans waiter,
"Sir, can I recommend some freshly caught gator?"
I said, "Are you for real?
Didn’t you hear about that poor woman Lucille?"
"But Sir, what if I can assure you ~ this ain't the gator that ate her?"

Why Do You Think I Recommended Him to You

Shep was a slug-a-bug, a sluggard, a sloth
A do-little, do-nothing, man of the cloth
He cancelled more sermons than he ever wrote
This lazy lay-about did not fool this old goat.
He was a goldbricker at my church too said Lou.
Why do you think I recommended him to you?

Putting
The Italian diplomat's 
Timeless wisdom on full display
Written after a night
At the pub

After three weeks
Of employing Machiavellianism
In the classroom
We checked student feedback

"We won't put up with arrogant teachers."
"He's a jerk."

This behaviour management strategy
Has now been 
Swiftly abandoned

The Scent of Water Not Recommended For Competition

While driving along, just after Mass
Father McGee drove a bit fast
But the person he passed, at eighty two
Was Sergeant O'Mally all dressed in blue
The Father pull over and it didn't take long
To see the cops cruiser with all it's lights on
McGee rolled his window, down ready to talk
As O'Mally got out and cautiously walked

When O'Mally
