See Ya’ Later Alligator Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Wally Gator is a swinging alligator in the swamp.
He's the greatest perculator when he really starts to romp.
There has never been a greater operator in the swamp.
See ya later, Wally Gator. (Hannah-Barbera)

CSI: Miami did not get the killer,
Two men were involved a burglary,
Their crime would be paid for,
- if only they knew
One did not make it,
He bit off more than he could chew,
Wally Gator did prove that crime doesn’t pay,
For an unknown robber would die today.

For a man desperate to not get police custody,
Found the arms and teeth of a gator in a lake,
In the area of the nation of Miccosukee,
He left a bloody trail that was his in his wake.

Whatever he and his partner stole,
Was not worth the price he gave,
His partner remains unidentified,
His partner has a second chance to behave.

The gator acted as police, judge, and executioner,
For a crime that wasn’t serious at all,
Makes me wonder if nature judges more harshly,
Makes me wonder if nature has in mind for man’s downfall.
