Mr. Gator - The Swimmer

Mr. Gator -The Swimmer

Poetic Lesson About My Favorite Reptile

Alligator swims in a ripe swamp marsh
Life for a reptile can be so harsh
Survived since the day of the Dinosaur
Through times of trial, triumph, peace and war

Short little legs, he moves so fast
Don't think any race will find ol' gator last
Watch your toes, child, don't dangle them south
Find your limbs are tangled in Mr. Gator's mouth

People feed gator hot dogs, not knowing better,
Don't heed those signs, can't read no letters
Tease Mr. Gator and sure you'll die,
With old Mr. Dinosaur, your bones will lie!
