The gator is like a crocodile,
Except, for the way it smiles.
Should you be swimming and see its eyes,
Prepare to say your goodbyes.
Better yet, if you see a gator,
Say, "See you later".

I too like Nash and his irreverant sense of humour both in his words and his way of writing. You have caught a lot of this in your poem.
Thanks for sharing

Thank you for entering my contest - Ogden Nash - BIG favorite of mine. I enjoyed this. Sorry I took so long to comment - somehow you got to this page without me seeing you at the top of the page I was looking at (if you know what I mean).
