Water moccasins stay clear
Frogs suddenly still
Old cypress trees water bound
Creaking in the bayou swamp...

I was asked why I don’t pet alligators
Well, I replied
I petted one once
I petted one twice
Now I may need a hand

Alligators want my 46C’s.
I throw them hard with plenty of ease.
Here come the crocks.
With toes in socks.
I scream as I run from their tick tocks....

According by my navigator -
I'm in the tundra- close to the Northern Pole.
But, why  giraffes everywhere and alligators,
I do not comprehend it at all?...

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...

Down south on the small alligator farm
Alligators grown to size to alarm
All the workers there too scared
Of young gators as they aired
Parachuted food to keep them from harm

I have ants at my picnic
She has alligators with horns
My cats scratch
Hers can bite off your head
If I get an A
She gets an A plus
If I have a tummy ache
She gets brain surgery
My lifetime goal is to move away from my cousin...

Alligators bellowing chorous dance.
Eerie freshwater gator holes.
Intense jaws, killer lizard-like.
Marshes nest offspring, population quickly rebounds.
Southeastern territorial. 
Underwater vegitation. Wetlands xylem.

Horrified at the harassment dpartment.
An alligator visited his apartment.
Alligator wanted to eat some flesh.
Morally and socially we are at stake.

Crocodiles & alligators & guidelines.

(Limerick)


There once was a woman named  Flo 
Who did it by the way that you know 
She had a long nose 
And alligators in tow 
Who ate her nose and each of her toes!

Antagonistic apes alluded to awful alligators allowing allegiance anew.
Bamboozled baboons believed beyond borders bibbity bobbity boo.
Chummy chimpanzees cheekily chattering central Chattanooga chew.
Deliberate orangutan dancing during delectable delirious dreamtime dew....

Two mighty alligators follow me from the bowels of the swamp
Talking in low voices, but I have dog ears so I catch on.
They are diving me up.
One wants my thighs.
The other is talking about my juicy breasts
Leaving me in no real suspense about what gender they probably are....

A tale emerges between bar nuts.
His brother eaten
in his own swimming pool.

“Alligators are stupid,” he says,
“they’re vacant
like a tiger with a lobotomy.
You don't see alligator heads on walls,
do you?
There's no way to mount
that dumb fricking grin.”

Neither of us laugh....

black-water canals
where alligators patrol
and moccasins wait

where starved mosquitoes
invade in hoards at twilight
thirsty for fresh blood

at morning's first light   
dawn illuminates cypress
birds announce sunrise

perilous beauty
on display in the Wetlands
and all is at peace...

I am alone
Hyenas are on land
Alligators are in water
The air above is full of fire,

I am not coward
Looking for a way
To show them the difference
Between powerful and powerless,

I know it is difficult
As hyenas, alligators are beasts
To make them civilized
I have to be strategic and to wait....

Louisiana bayou full of pythons and alligators
The boatman glides through the water holding his breath
Wondering if something will get him
By falling out of a tree or overturning his flimsy boat
His journey feels longer today than ever before
Horror story of alligator eating a man on the news this morning...

Down South In Water Did Wade

While down south in water would wade,
After on sandy beach played and played;
Some tea drank;
On hammock sank;
Looked up at cloudless sky when we laid.

Jim Horn

Seems like all days in a south summer
are lazy ones.

Do I have any competitors that about
southern life enraptures along with
all of the alligators....

Florida’s views ever so spacious
Trees dropping flowers, so audacious
Covering paths, looking vivacious
Tip toe carefully, ever gracious
Cavorting ducks, feeling flirtatious
Breeding instincts, ever tenacious
Nests of flowers, softly herbaceous
Alligators glide hugely predaceous
Rolling fish always voracious
Fishermen’s lures completely fallacious...

Palm trees are being blown out to sea today
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and far away
Hurricane Idalia is making sure she is having her way
When we think of Florida we all must pray

Alligators are in hiding, the manatees too
Housewives have stopped cooking their beef stew
People are all running toward Interstate ninety-five.
Trying to escape so they can stay alive....

Oh great Devone is Standing in the sky wearing a belt of stars encompassing his acetabulofemoral. Dichromatic eyes in which one is a black hole and the other a sun. A menage of gods that reside in a flying lighthouse designed by men with heads of ants and symbols written all over their bodies. The children of Devone who were moths with heads of alligators metamorphic to an elfish angel of doom....

Dinner Time

The scaly, green creature emerged
To a beach where swimmers converged

How quickly the crowd stepped aside
As the fourteen-foot reptile hit stride

From the Gulf to a nearby pond
He stepped in and poof, he was gone

Only then did we see the sign
Half hidden by a creeping vine

What’s this?  Do we need translators?
“Please don’t feed the alligators”

Alligators bleed a passing style.
Shot birds freeze in a look of disbelief.
Leopards fall in wraps and cooling guts.
Snap and clack of traps grind mental teeth
In living bone. Flash and zing of wire
Scald ruts in moving flesh.
Whoosh of nets and sudden crack of guns
Hold down the gelatin that was an eye--
And heaps of trinket feathers and trunkless hides
Are lain on altars for a current god....
