Oh Crocodile

So long, so green, so quick and nimble croc
It Is the word that really does come to mind
So fast, so quiet, so simple it waits tick tock
Goes the clock, waiting for prey from behind

Waiting for you in grass he stalks his prey
He’s gonna eat you fast it’ll be a blast
Coming at you so fast he will take you away
He’ll eat you; for you a cast will not last

Time passes as he stalks through the grass
At last enough time has kindly passed death
Be’ upon you as you sink to the dark
The light goes out, the sun; take your last breath

Goodnight crocodile don’t fear time has come
For your meal, hope you had fun eating my mum.
