The Crocodile*

by Jack Prelutsky



Beware the crafty crocodile

who beckons you with clever smile

to join him in the river Nile

and swim with him a little while.



His smile is not a friendly smile,

it springs from his dishonest guile

and treacherous reptilian style.

Beware the crafty crocodile.

Write a poem that has the same number of lines (8) and has the same rhyming scheme (a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a) entitled "Beware of Boys" or "Beware of Girls". What things do we need to watch out for?
