Crass Alligator Doggerel

by

Frank Valentyn

There was a young man from Parnassus
who among his varied possessions
had an alligator referred to as Crassus
it happened one day
they got stuck on the way
on the highway from Paris to Brussels
in a stampede dismissive of road rules
brayed an assembly of totally mad mules
and in order to flee the melee
without getting surgical
he put his pet vertical
and his alligator he climbed like a tree

A passing monk gave his blessings
offered him sackcloth and ashes
asked if his view from up there was impressive
I really can’t tell
said the young man quite fell
I’m up to my alligator in asses
