Please don’t pet the alligator,
don’t throw rocks and aggravate her.
With her crooked, toothy smile,
She can chase your for a mile.
And DON’T go riding on her back,
Or she may have you for a snack.
On this, your life may just depend,
The alligator ain’t your friend.

Nice rhymes, and a true saying!
Reminds me of “Never Smile at a Crocodile”, a favourite song from my childhood. Thank you for the smile. 🙂
Do you remember the children’s book, “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile?” That was one of my favorite books as a kid.
