the sign said ‘beware of alligators’
and ‘do not feed the wildlife’
but i believe in making your own luck
so into the pit i threw my wife
only the best cuts
juicy thighs and butts
greens, vinegar, salt and pepper
the saucepan boiled, the knives sharpened
then i cracked an egg and added rice
to “din dins!” cry the alligator harkened
only the best cuts
tongue kebabs and guts
i draped the table with a festive cloth
and located grandma’s silver cutlery
added napkins, flowers, ambient light
for the alligator to dine in luxury
only the best cuts
and freedom for my nuts

Didn’t understand: is it the alligator or the wife? I can be slow sometimes. It was well prepped, but kinda dark.

Let’s just say that the alligator got to snack on some wife burgers. 😅

May the wife burgers be too big and thorny for the alligator to swallow. May it be stuck in its belly and give alligator some aches and indigestion 🤣 🤣
