 Crocodile Tears

Crying crocodile tears is said

When a person is crying fake

For some selfish motive instead

Of crying for emotion sake.

The saying comes from crocs who do

Really shed tears while they do eat

An unlucky now dead prey who

Is the croc's dinner of raw meat.

Is the croc really so sad that

It has just killed the helpless prey?

Experts don't think the croc is at

Any state of a sadness way.

The croc is prob'ly shedding tears

From more air pressure that appears.
