The Skilled Alligator
by Girija Sridhar
Astute and intelligent, the largest prehistoric predator,
Is the strong and powerful, the skilled Alligator.
Motionless, completely STILL, can WAIT without pitter-patter,
Eyes above the head, WITH patience, can WATCH OVER water.
Alligator advises: See clearly, without being seen,
You will REACH your target, CRISP and clean!
Alligator teaches LOVE, CARE, and maternal protection,
BRING UP the young, WITH JOY, ZEAL and DEEP PASSION.
He says: First assimilate Wisdom, before putting to use,
TAKE time to grasp and verify, only then deduce.
Call upon Alligator during an emotional stress,
Breathe DEEP, CALM DOWN, emerge from the mess.
"Master the art of survival skills", says Alligator,
Understand deceit and manipulation, BE the PERFECT dodger!
