The Crocodile Poem by Francis Duggan

The fearsome crocodile he snoozes for awhile
In the sunshine on the brown banks of the great river Nile
A creature of savagery that many fear
And only the biggest to him venture near.

With razor sharp teeth and great power in his jaws
He kow tows to none and lives by his own laws
And even his own kind he has been known to eat
He is not that fussy to him meat is meat.

He is a maneater of him you'd best beware
From murky deep waters stay away from there
He surely will seize you and go on his death roll
And leave it to your friends for to pray for your soul.

On the bank of the river he seems fast asleep
But from him your safe distance you ought to keep
For if he grabs hold of you yourself you cannot defend
Against his ferocity and for you the end.
