Ok, this one's a bit of a weird, sinister one so just tread carefully here.

The crocodile lays,
With his eyes in the water,
Lying in wait,
Ready for the slaughter.

Some might think he's violent,
But they misunderstand,
He survives the same as we do,
Out on our land.

We kill other creatures,
For ourselves to eat,
We are just as violent,
As those creatures who eat meat.

Thankyou for taking the time to read my poem! I'm still Improving!

As a vegetarian
I thank you for this
though I don't feel
holier than thou
because of it either.
Happy thanksgiving
spare the rod
save a turkey this year

Of course you are right, Melissa, but the crocodiles don't say please and thank you and wipe the blood off their chin with a linen napkin.
