The King’s New Crocodile
A long time ago 
On a hill quite high 
Lived a king in his castle 
With his pet crocodile 

For years they raced 
And usually won 
Their favourite game 
A two-person marathon 

But the reptile grew tired 
His feet became slow 
He was no longer cheery 
He said please, can’t I go 

To a place so delightful 
Where I’ll rest for a while 
Competitions feel frightful 
I’m a weary crocodile 

I understand, said the king 
An era’s come to an end 
Our jolly races are over 
But new beginning’s ‘round the bend 

To a place of calm 
I will drop you off 
You can rest and retire 
At the shoemaker’s shop.
