CROAK! -- splash!
only empty lily pads
and fading ripples.

“The Crocodile” by Lewis Carroll [w/ Audio]
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!

Black Mamba [Lyric Poem]
The Black Mamba is not black...
Well, it's black inside its mouth,
But if you're getting that view,
Things have definitely gone south.

Crocodile [Lyric Poem]
The Crocodile has a toothy smile,
And, Oh My, is he so proud of it.
I'll sing his praises (play Croc-o-phile)
As long as I'm ten feet above it.

Snake Hijinx [Kyōka]
i see snakes jutting
from the water; usually
i’d discover
it’s not snakes but sticks,
but today isn’t the usual.

Roughhousing Snakes [Haiku]
at water’s edge,
snakes wrestle: writhing, twining,
but slipping the pin.

Skink Limerick
The reptile known as the Five-Lined Skink is silent, but not as covert as you'd think. From the front end it blends, but its bright blue back end catches the eye no matter how slowly it slinks.

Shell Deceit [Haiku]
false cracks and shine to look like a pile of rocks, the turtle's shell
