Description

A nice beast is the Crocodile,

He has a very pleasant smile.

He's always ready with his jaws

In any really useful cause.

If in the Nile you take a swim,

You need not be afraid of him.

And if your strength should chance to fail,

He will assist you with his tail.

He lives entirely on fruits,

On oats, on mushrooms, and on roots.

(This original accompanying poem, pertaining to the image, will be included with your print. Firstly, a copy neatly pasted to the rear of the backing board, and a copy as a separate sheet for your reference.)
