And did greatly admire –

And then I showed her my art

When a young lady named Mable

Danced nude on the vicar’s table,

Crocodile

A crocodile on a log.

And thought

Perhaps

To run away

To live another day

As the creature might be starving –

But it was merely carving,

A log,

Me, and my dog

On a spring day
