Gator Smile Poem by Lamar Cole

Jamie was vacationing in Florida.
He had now become very elderly and slow.
He was taking a very nice walk in the park.
When out of the water came a hungry alligator.
The alligator looked at him with that hungry gator smile.
Jamie ran for his life.
But his feet failed him as he ran in slow motion.
He thought as the alligator put him in the death roll.
This alligator has no respect for the elderly.
The alligator thought as he was eating Jamie.
That a younger human might have made a more tender meal.
