Alligator Tears Through Metal Fence


Florida Alligator Tears Metal Fence




Metal fence keeps creatures inbound,
these aluminum bars are not so sound.
Giant alligator tears through with ease,
on to the other side as it flees.

Is there a better meal over there—
a chipmunk, rabbit, or a hare?
Just be careful wherever you go
or you'll find nothing but woe.

See you later, alligator ate a child
at Disney World— something wild.
You can't escape an alligator's bite,
even if you fight with all your might.

Be aware of this roaming predator—
a hungry marauding alligator.
