Don’t Go In
(Ribbit-Ribbit)


The crocodile comes; he is creeping and creeping… creeping within.  
He smells your blood and your salty smooth skin.
He is slow but sullen, and determined to win…

A meal like you, would be such a treat,
if he could just grab you, in his jaws and sharp teeth.

Your eyes and your ears are blind to his whim,
so you dive in the water to have a quick swim…

You saw the sign it said not to go in
but you had your way, you just wouldn’t listen…

The last thing I saw was that crocodile’s grin,
as I glanced at the sign which says: “Don’t go in.”
(Ribbit-Ribbit)

This could be about a lot more than the surface reveals.  What lies beneath the water with the Crocodile?  Hmmm, it makes me think in analogies.  But on the surface it is great fun too.
