Poetry and Art, Lewis Carroll

(above cayman by ariane urwick)

This has been a difficult week. The bigger better and much improved Multiply upgrade had proved a little difficult for some people. The gremlins have been out to play in force, they have wrecked havoc every where. And so I thought a little light relief was needed, who needs serious at a time like this. ?? 

(Mr Crok by Benji)

How doth the little crocodile...
poem by Lewis Carroll

(The carpet crocodile by debbie Grey)

How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

(a crocodile by Joel benjamin)

How cheerfully he seems to grin

 How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!  

(The Croc by Patricio Marcelo Balanovsky)

delete reply acousticeagle wrote on Jun 17, '09 haha, this reminds me of 'Snappy' the little crocodile. Remember that? I actually bought the single for someone I knew. That was so silly that little song, though not as bad as that green frog guy going 'beep beep' with his little 'beep' beeped out...hehe
