The next time you visit a tropical isle
stroll by the ocean but don't put your feet in,
lured by the guile of a crocodile smile.
It ruins a vacation, they say, to be eaten.
*
When you wrestle crocodiles
and don't emerge the winner,
the crocodile always smiles
to have you as his dinner.
When you wrestle crocodiles,
never turn your back.
The crocodile also smiles
to have you as his snack.
