I was reading in a restaurant,
enjoying sunshine spring,
When a 'gator in a top hat smiled a very toothy grin!
He headed for my table, and he sat down by my side,
He said he felt quite hungry, and his huge jaws opened wide.
So I handed him a menu, which he chewed up into shreds,
Then proceeded very quickly, to eat the table spreads!
I tried to look quite calm and cool, and cover up my fright, Suppose he saw me as a meal - For him a temping sight!
He chomped up all the table legs - The silver service too,
Then looked at me and whispered, "I won't partake of you -
For althought you look quite tasty, In your padded suit and tie,
Your face is much too pasty, For a 'gator such as I!!"
