The Purist
by Ogden Nash
I give you now Professor Twist,
A conscientious scientist,
Trustees exclaimed, "He never bungles!"
And sent him off to distant jungles.
Camped on a tropic riverside,
One day he missed his loving bride.
She had, the guide informed him later,
Been eaten by an alligator.
Professor Twist could not but smile.
"You mean," he said, "a crocodile."

He should have had one chambered.

They knew they had the right crocodile because he was wearing a pair of human skin boots.

Big game hunter became big game.
Crocodiles gotta eat too.

Maybe the guy wanted to get his nose stretched out by the crocodiles of the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River.

Crocodiles whistle when you shoot them.
Sometimes it’s “I’ve Been Working On The Railroad”, but usually it’s “Purple Rain”.

Is so much fat good for crocodiles?
