Right under Cedric’s house
lived an enormous alligator
a pet he kept secret, for many years
until one day
the alligator got fed up with steak
and wanted to try something sweet
so up he came to greet his master…
murder? yes… but not much mystery
the police said
general belief was this…
there was more than one reptile down there
unfortunately
(they haven’t managed to trace the second one yet)
the NYPD Notes…
they are still searching for a few gentlemen
who were neighbors
they were playing strip poker at the time
at least four of them are believed to be British
apparently, they were all poets…

He wasn't a barber was he Teddy? LOL
Andy
Obviously it wasn't you! 🤣
Nothing like getting down to the bare bones I find it interesting that poets were playing strip poker. I guess that is because they have to bare all. As a child, I had a pet alligator. It was back when it was legal to buy baby alligators in the US. He wouldn’t eat, so I had to force feed him by taking a piece of hamburger, rolling it into a ball pry and open his mouth and ramming it down his throat with The eraser end of a pencil as if he were a musket. Oh well enough trivia. Loved your poem. It made me smile and told a good story.
My goodness wasn't expecting such a confession from you dearest sorrenbarret, could it have been one of your alligators then lol. 🤣 Thank you as always you wonderful fully dressed poet. 🌹
Love it
ah glad to know it's not you dear Tony36 🤣 tha k you sir. 🌹
You're welcome
And also a poetic lunch. Gruesome, yet comical. Alligators devouring poets, they get indigestion and burp sonnets. If we devour poets maybe we'll be able to burp a few lines.
Well, a very interesting tale, told nicely with tongue in cheek. - Phil A.
lOl I wish I could simply burp a sonnet dear Phil, thanks so much for the wonderful imagery and sound.. 🤣
La! Poetic indeed! What on earth was so "sweet" about eating his owner?! And Brits yielding behind doors to the indulgence of strip poker netted them an ungodly end?!!! Poetic to the extreme.
Thank you so much Cheeky Missy, glad to see you have a wonderful sense of humour like mine, us woman have to shake it up and try to deter the male from it's species even in poetic form lol
So funny, sweet Teddy. I needed a good laugh.
lol tha k you my dear Thomas, happy to be of service my friend. 🌹
Came to this late, Teddy - sorry. Your surrealistic nonsense made me larf.
Not a rhyme in sight..... couldn't be a poet didn't see or hear a thing.....

Ah - You be my alibi (wink wink)😇
Depends on my mood lol 🤣
Uh ha - be easy to say as how women are fickle, but such a sexist comment would neva cross my mind..........
