CROCODILE patients come in with a Smile ~ I
REALLY do relish my job ! They
OPEN their jaws like Dinosaurs
CAUSING my warm heart to throb ! Keep
OPEN they should with a big log of wood
DON'T want them to bite off my hand
I'M A COOL loving hand ~ cares for their TEETH ~ They
LOVE ME and they UNDERSTAND
EVERY Old Croc ~ Teeth the size of a Rock ~ OK
CHIMPANZEES ~ they live in trees
HIGH above the ground
I STAND underneath and shout out ~ TEETH !
MAKES them come runnin' round
PERFECT grin from nose to chin
AND Monkeys ~ just like humans
NOW get a thrill when they see the DRILL
ZZZ ZZZ ZZZ ~ they love the buzzing sound
EVERY CHIMP's an incarnate IMP ~ BUT
EACH one I have found ~ is really a .....
SIMIAN ANGEL FAIR ~ asleep with Gas 'n Air !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN
When I was still at School ~ I wanted to be a VET !
I used to work in one on a Saturday Morning ~ cleaning
and making tea & coffee for the Clients. When someone
brought in a small CROCODILE with its jaws tied together
with a belt ~ I changed my mind and trained as an
Industrial Chemist instead ~ I love amphibians & snakes !

I HAVE to ask. Does someone really do this? I know about filing horses' teeth but crocodiles?
THANKS SR ~ Vets really do have to care for the teeth of their patients as part of the JOB including Crocodiles and Alligators ! Especially ones in captivity ~ visitors come to see a Nice Set of Shiny TEETH ! I have seen the feral ALLIGATORS in the Everglades in Florida awesome gnashers ! I have added a cartoon ~ of course the CROCS & ALLIS are always sedated in the Vet Dentists CHAIR ! Yours BRIAN
Amazing - I always thought the birds kept them clean - or is that just hippopotami! Anyway, I wish I could "feel" for crocs and alligators but the reptiles leave me cold - I think of them as the psychopaths of the animal world.
Thanks SR for your second comment. Animals do work symbiotically for grooming and animals also chew on twigs etc (natural toothbrushes !) for oral hygiene ! If you visit the Everglades (Florida USA) you see Alligators in a different light ~ Mothers with their babies etc. In the Visitors Center you can hold a Young One and get to know them better ! Yours BRIAN
Well I learned something today - I promise I will try to think of them differently. But still the image comes to me of Hitler's mother with her cute baby (and he was!)
A fine write Brian.
Thanks STEVE ~ Pleased you liked it ~ BRIAN
wow - who would ever want to reach inside the mouth of an un-sedated croc !! - - loved this informative acrostic Brian.
Thanks for your lively comment FAY. I know that the VETS who work in the Florida Everglades sure have to undertake Dental Work on the Gators who are an important Tourist attraction ! We were on an early Bird Watching walk in the Everglades and there was a 15ft Gator across the path ! The guide said "He's had his breakfast so just step over Him ~ BUT ~ don't touch his tail !" We did and he slept peacefully ! Yours as ever ~ BRIAN
Another good 'un Brian
Thanks MICHAEL ~ for me Animals & Acrostics are symbiotic ~ BRIAN

Welcome
The cartoon does go well with your excellent poem, Brian. Or is it the other way round?
NO FRED ~ In this case ~ as a promise follow on to yesterday ~ I jotted down a few Tigers ~ Monkeys ~ Crocodiles and teeth seemed to recur ! I posted the Crocodile & The Monkey and then searched GOOGLE who came up with the Picture which I added ~ OK ! Sometimes the Picture does come first ! BRIAN
Good fun write Brian.
THANKS ANDY ~ We all need a little more HUMOUR on MPS ~ Pleased you liked it ~ Yours BRIAN
