A zebra, gazelle, and crocodile
All went out for brunch
For it was far too late for breakfast
And far too early for lunch
The zebra asked the gazelle
What it was she'd get
“Simply a salad” she replied
with a smile and nod of her head
The gazelle returned the question
In what the zebra would delight
“Some crumpets and tea, I do declare”
Said she, quite outright
When they asked their friend crocodile
What he'd be having for food:
“Leaves and greens are all very keen,
But I'm really just not in the mood”
They both nodded acceptance
At the response of the gator
As he licked his scaly lips
And signaled for their waiter
“For the gazelle, a salad;
The zebra, crumpets and tea
(Make the portions nice and big
For today we'll have a feast)”
He smiled a toothy grin
And took a sip of oolong
The last part he had whispered,
Hoping his friends hadn't caught on
The food came and the ladies ate
While the croc, he did just stare
And when they were done, he paid for brunch
Thinking it only fair
After leaving their table
Said the croc as sweet as he could
“Let's go for a walk along this path,
Into the lonely wood”
The girls agreed with joy
the croc just seemed so sweet
Until after a while, the crocodile
said “Now it's time for me to eat” |
