Alligators Are Unfriendly 
Alligators are unfriendly, 
They are easily upset, 
I suspect that I would never 
care to have one for a pet. 
Oh, I know they do not bellow, 
And I think that they do not shed, 
But I’d probably be nervous 
if I had one in my bed. 

Alligators are not clever, 
they are something of a bore, 
they can’t heel or catch a Frisbee, 
They don’t greet you at the door, 
for their courtesy is lacking 
and their tempers are not sweet, 
they won’t even fetch your slippers 
…though they might eat your feet.
