A croc was basking
In a summer pond,
Waiting for lunch
To pass by.
His eye on the clouds
He suddenly thought,
‘My stomach is grumbling
for pie!’
A fish was not right,
An elephant neither,
So all he could do,
Was sigh.
Dreaming of a day
When pies could be real,
He continued to stare
At the sky.
Remember that croc
And follow your dreams,
All you must do
Is try.

Great verse dear lady. I had this image of two men in a boat going by and the crocodile thinking he’d settle for a tin of canned human 😀

Does Croc pie taste like chicken ? Good one. Oh and remind the croc when it is time for the pie do not eat the clock. That’s what happened to the captain’s friend…
