Crocodile Tears
Get your fear in control
Look past greenish faces
And dry, wart-like textures
Leave fear in far-off places
And stop trippin’ on your dark thoughts
Show your strength lest you be defaced
Smellin‘ fear just makes them drool
And causes hearts to race
Lilac tongues are frightening
Knife-sharp fangs and molars
Growlin’ through hot breaths
Tails circlin’ like huge rollers
But, stop trippin’ on your dark thoughts
Show your strength lest you be defaced
Smellin’ fear just makes them drool
And causes hearts to race
So swallow down your bile
And meet my pet Crocodiles
Step back if they cry
Crocodile tears lie
My Crocodiles
My Crocodiles
Get your fear in control
Look past greenish faces
And dry, wart-like textures
Leave fear in far off places
And stop trippin’ on your dark-thoughts
Show your strength lest you be defaced
Smellin’ fear just makes them drool
And causes hearts to race
Just swallow down your bile
And meet my pet Crocodiles
Step back if they cry
Crocodile tears lie
My Crocodiles
My Crocodiles

Nice poem and I got enlightened about the crocodile tears. I really had no idea about, why it is called so.
Thanks for sharing!

Poetry is hard enough to write but poetry to the tune of specific music is a special feat. Well done here.

Mark, thank you for your thoughtful comment. Just for that, I might let you give one of my pet crocodiles a hug.
