An alligator, oh no look and see.
It’s coming out of the water and heading for me.
I better stand back for soon he may trod
Right up for a bite without even a nod.
On second thought I think I’d better leave
And let this great creature go back to his need.
He slides back into the water so quietly and swift.
The both of us together, we avoided a rift.
As he travels on up river looking for a better place to sun,
I move along too, glad our encounter is done.
