Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Betty Croc

Betty Croc, I fondly call her,

My neighbor crocodile, and who'll

Oft crawl from her lagoon for sure

For a dip in my swimming pool.

Betty was doing her dip thing,

When friends of mine, quite drunk, showed up,

Jumped into the pool for dipping,

Before I could warn the fools, yup.

I yelled for my friends to get out,

Cuz with them was a crocodile.

My friends paid me no heed no doubt,

But Betty did, and she did smile.

Out of the pool Betty did crawl,

Happy ending for humans all.
