Wow! I was a grouch

I didn’t even try to be

But the simple fact

Is that, it came so naturally!

Sometimes it don’t take much

To be an alligator

Chomping at someone

And they say, "Hey, I’ll See ya later".

Sometimes I just feel crowded

And really need my space

So when the ‘gator’s out today

You should stay out of my face.

I’m not always a ‘gator

Most of the time I’m plain ole me

And when I’m not a ‘gator

I’m as friendly as can be!
