THE TINY T0rs
Natural History Primer
PALS

This great big lizard, children
dear,
Is called crocodile.
Mark how his baleful eye betrays
His too affected smile.
He lives in far-off tropic rivers
Where the waters sluggish flow,
Zambezf, sGanges Nile land,
OF course. The ''grey-green
Eilnpopo.")
This is Kipling's wicked 'mugger, "
Who as everybody knows
Gave the baby elephant his trunk
BY tugging at his nose.
Sociable he, likes to mix
With all the forest folk,
And having dinner with old Croc
Is their oldest tribal joke.
In imitation of log,
He poses on the beach
And with his tail smites everything
That plumbers within reach.
The bane of hoof and fur and beak,
They shun the horrid bounder
And move with every sense alert
When near his haunts they
wander.
Submerged beneath the bank he
waits
For deer come down to drink,
And having nabbed one by the
nose
contrives to swiftly sink. y.
When with his much embarrassed
guest
To bottom he has sunk
He leisurely reduces him
To gastronomic junk.
The pungle scribe, a sage old ape,
Wrote down this tale of woe:
Another silent partner joins
The Firm of Croc & Co."
Yet this ogre has his troubles
And suffers nagging pangs
Caused by nasty little ticks
That lodge among his fangs.
But nature lends remedy
For Croc's annoying fix,
A tiny bird who nothing loves
So much as eating ticks.
Intrepidly he steps about
On Croc's wide yawning jaw
And pecks away-the only thing
Safe from his patrons NAV.
Quaint cooperation, here both
Partners are the winners:
The crocodile gets gum relief,
The bird some dainty dinners.
This charming idyll, children
dear
A moral seems to lend:
It pays the strongest man at times
Not to cheat a friend.
