Camouflage!


CAMOUFLAGE!

I'm an alligator off to a party
Camouflaged as a tree!
If you saw me in the grey-green water
You never would recognise me!
I think it's a wonderful costume!
It'll fool you on closer inspection!
I look quite harmless, don't I,
Swimming in your direction!
Just your normal funny old tree-trunk.
How could that ever do any harm?
But, on my way to the party,
I might bite off your arm!

I think this particulsr tree's 'bark' is worse than its bite!

Love Quilly's comment!

Brenda, this was such a clever and fanciful poem. I loved the meter in this...I think this would be a cool basis for a childrens book!

Thanks for a clever and cute link this week for Alphabe-Thursday.
