Hey everybody! I hope you had a fabulous Easter weekend and celebrated in the way you all wanted!
Here's a picture of Thibodaux, one of the alligators that my aunt and I encountered on our swamp tour last weekend. (More on that later)
Thought I'd share a poem with you this Monday morning.
A selection from Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends : "The Crocodile Toothache"
The Crocodile
Went to the dentist
And sat down in the chair,
And the dentist said, "Now tell me sir,
Why does it hurt and where?"
And the Crocodile said, "I'll tell you the truth,
I have a terrible ache in my tooth,"
And he opened his jaws so wide, so wide
That the dentist, he climbed right inside,
And the dentist laughed, "Oh isn't this fun?"
As he pulled the teeth out, one by one.
And the Crocodile cried, "You're hurting me so!
Please put down your pliers and let me go."
But the dentist just laughed with a Ho Ho Ho,
And he said, "I still have twelve to go -
Oops, that's the wrong, one I confess
But what's one crocodile's tooth, more or less?"
Then suddenly, the jaws went SNAP,
And the dentist was gone, right ff the map,
And where he went one could only guess . . .
To North or South or East or West . . .
He left no forwarding address.
But what's one dentist, more or less?
By the way, I have donated to Jon's Blogfest Giveaway! You can find the information about the giveaway here. (A real genuine alligator head could be in your future . . . just sayin')
And welcome to all the new followers from Jon's neck of the woods! I'm glad to have ya'!
