Eating with an Alligator isn't Quite the Thing!

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!!"
