Barging down the river a mile
I once met a crocodile
Whose smile
I didn’t really care for
I asked my maid in waiting
If she’d do a little baiting
And have the ax man
Do away with that which I abhor
Now I beam a benign smile
It’s pure pleasure there’s no
guile
Believe me
I love my shoes, my clutch, and
the beautiful Nile
