Time to dust of a poem of mine... I am a lonely gondolier I'm known to be a menace Because my alligator pet Keeps following me round Venice. The other, saner gondoliers Who pole about in style Offend me daily when they shout "Oi - move yer crocodile!" (Cont'd....)
While vendors in St Mark's great square Will point and cry out "Hey man! You shouldn't be boating hereabouts With that nasty, dirty caiman!" I try for calm. I try so hard With amity to sweeten 'em, But my alligator's not so nice - He's only upped and eaten' em! (C) Catherine Rose
Love this <3
Thanks babe. It's hereditary - my old Dad used to pop out a bit of comic verse wvery now and again! 😁
