Is It An Alligat…or?
What’s that under my bed?
Is it an alligat…or
is it my dark green jumper?
What’s that in the bath?
Is it an alligat…or
is it a tub of mint shampoo?
What’s that in the fridge?
Is it an alligat…or
is it a juicy cucumber?
What’s that in my sandwich?
Is it an alligat…or
is it slices of lettuce?
What’s that in the garden pond?
Is it an alligat…or
is it a family of frogs?
Yes, it’s an alligator.
RUN INSIDE!!!!
Is it an alligat…or
is it my dark green jumper?
What’s that in the bath?
Is it an alligat…or
is it a tub of mint shampoo?
What’s that in the fridge?
Is it an alligat…or
is it a juicy cucumber?
What’s that in my sandwich?
Is it an alligat…or
is it slices of lettuce?
What’s that in the garden pond?
Is it an alligat…or
is it a family of frogs?
Yes, it’s an alligator.
RUN INSIDE!!!!
