ALLIGATORS

By Josie Whitehead

Alligators

An alligator spends his life
   Basking in the sun.
He doesn’t get much exercise 
   And friends?  Well he has none.

​

He wears a scaly jacket 
   And has a longish snout - 
But if you see him in the water, 
   Well it’s best that you keep out.

​

He lives a solitary life 
   For he’s someone others fear.
He’d love to eat you for his lunch,
   So you stay really clear.

​

He cannot get a dentist now
   For dentists just won’t come.
The last time that one visited,
   He left without his thumb.

​

If you’d like to meet an alligator,
    Meet one at a zoo.
You’ll see him there behind the glass,
    And he’ll be studying you.
