Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never tip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
You may very well be well bred
Lots of etiquette in your head
But there's always some special case, time or place
To forget etiquette
For example
One positively must not wear a pleased expression on his countenance when confronted with that large lizard-like amphibious reptile
Who has long jaws, armored skin and webbed feet and who is known as the crocodile
It has been discovered that one simply cannot cherish an amicable or trustworthy relationship with the a for mentioned species
In addition it is mandatory that one does not become irresistible drawn into the erroneous belief that the lateral open extension of his lips means that you're entirely welcome
It is much more reasonable to assume that he is contemplating how you would look in a lizard suit
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
