The alligator is a creature
With not a single pleasing feature;
And even when it's very small,
It is not cuddlesome at all.
With countless teeth its jaws are set.
I do not want one for a pet.

I like it...I have a friend with a pet alligator...or maybe it is a croc...not sure it is just a baby. I personally think they are very cuddly...but I can see why you would not. Cute poem.
