He wants to cross the river
But the ferryman is nowhere
The notice says Crocodiles and beware!
Swimmer in a clue.
An old crocodile came
And tears in its eyes.
'I was watching since in the morning
And I am so sorry,
Believe me I am a different one
Always help others
And if you don't mind
I can give you a ride
Before it gets dark.'
'I too scare of darkness
And I love rides but not in a rough weather uncle.'
Swimmer replied.
Those crocodile tears are not to be trusted. An interesting fable, very well written. Always your friend at poemhunter, Sandra

An interesting 'take' on an old fable. What a wise swimmer you show us here, Nimal. He will not be fooled by Mr. Wily Crock, however tired he may be. Clever and witty. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
