THE CROCODILE By ADRIAN MOTT
Reading edition
Oh, do not rile the Crocodile,
His teeth are sharp and grim:
He’s full of guile, the Crocodile—
Oh, do not anger him!
The Crocodile with horrid smile
Will eat up anything;
The Crocodile devours in style
A Rabbit or a King!
Upon the Nile the Crocodile
Is waiting day and night—
And all the while the Crocodile
Is waiting for a bite.
