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. Copyright 2013
