Beware
the crafty crocodile
who
beckons you with clever smile
to
join him in the river Nile
and
swim with him a little while.
His
smile is not a friendly smile,
it
springs from his dishonest guile
and
treacherous reptilian style.
Beware
the crafty crocodile.

Beware of humans !!
ReplyDeleteBeware the evil one
who looks afraid but have a gun
which will use to have some fun
and make you forget the sun.
Man will live with his eternal fear
like a crocodile for him is a bear
we call to discuss but he can't hear
but we won't be the losers this year.
This is amazing. You are a god amongst men.

ReplyDeleteCrocodiles are considered the most dangerous animals but the truth is that people are the real ones because the only intention of crocodiles is to defend themselves . These are the three definite rules in the crocodiles world : keep away from humans , avoid problems and in case they attack you kill them . First , don't go near human territories unless you have the perfect plan to protect yourself if things go differently or you are starving for months . Second , be careful of the cruel people by avoiding all kinds of problems because they own guns and multiple weapons to destroy you . And last but not least , you have the right to kill them with peace of mind if they were the first in attacking you .
ReplyDeleteGood ideaS on how crocs can protect themselves.
DeleteBeware the human's palm,
ReplyDeleteThat carries a dangerous weapon,
That human without qualm,
You, he will shoot upon.
His fear is your biggest asset,
But always willing to use his strength,
Staying away from him is a goal to set,
Beware the human arm's length.
This is very good. I love the rhyme. You're a poet and proud to show it!
DeleteBeware ! savage reptile
ReplyDeleteFrom people with fake profile
They’ll take some pictures with their mobile
So Later on, they can get a medal
And if they disappear for a while
Then just far away a hundred mile
Cause if you stay in the same domicile
You’ll be a victim of their wiles
So good! This made me smile. Excellent!
DeleteCrocodiles are considered as one of the most dangerous animals ever. but the reality is that they will only attack you if you approach them, So if you stay away from their territory they will not hurt you. in the other hand if you are stupid enough to do that, you can only blame yourself because in that case they will eat you alive. but what about people? do you think they will only hurt you when you approach them? well the answer is no! Some people love to see the others suffering,it's fun for them, people can destroy you with different ways ,they can kill you more than once, they can break you heart, and they can even kill you with a gun just to rob you. so the diffrence between crocodiles and people is that they only attack you to protect themselves but people can hurt you just to entertain themselves. Steve Irwin once said: Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.”
ReplyDeleteand that is so true.
Good ending! That last statement is fantastic. Please watch your run-on sentences.
Deleteto all crocodiles,human are the most dangerous creatures on earth. Even though you are considered deadly amphibian reptiles, humans still stronger than you because they have the power of control.They can kill and destroy you in a second. However, to deal with humans, here is some significant steps. First,be careful because humans can make from your organs a product sold in auction. Second, attack humans whenever you have the opportunity, without mercy. they have destroyed nature and beautiful creatures,so you have the right to kill them. Third,change your position, and try to be hidden as much as possible, so that humans can't find you . finally,humans are evil emotionless creatures in this world , they have abolished everything ,so don't let them the chance to kill you too.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were so anti-human, Omar! Good steps. Crocodiles will respect your intelligence.
DeleteBe careful from the close ones the most
ReplyDeleteYou can see their love but their hate is hidden like a ghost
Once they hurt you , you will feel so lost
At least you expect animals to hurt you
But humans will break you
Believe no one and always be ready
Don't be afraid from being lonely
Don't trust the ground neither the skies
Trust the truth but not the lies
Jawhara, this is very, very well done. I am impressed with your poetic skills.
DeleteDespite the fact that the crocodile is considered as one of the most dangerous creatures on Earth, it's still an animal. In other words, the crocodile is not equipped with the necessary tools to think or to differentiate between what is it right or wrong. Yet, the human has what the crocodile does not have, and it is the ability to thing and to act in a logical way. In some cases, humans can be more fierce than the crocodile itself. Sometimes, humans are ready to do everything to get their goals achieved. They can steal, torture, kill people to get what they want. And sometimes without any remorses. So yes the crocodile is a dangerous animal, but if people stay in its territory or if they scare it. But if the person stays away from it, the crocodile will not hurt she/ he because its purposes in life are just to feed and protect itself from the predators. And sometimes that predator is a human.
ReplyDeleteIt's true! If I was an animal, I'd be terrified of humans. We are crazy!
DeleteThe crocodile is one of the most dangerous reptiles. They have the incredible power to hear a low sound even if they are under the water and have a very good night vision. Despite of all this power, people are more dangerous for crocodile because we are selfish and thing just about ourselves and how we look. There are a lot of crocodile's hunter who kill this beautiful creature just to get their hides which are used to make a very expensive handbages or shoes. Crocodiles can be dangerous too, but just in one and only case if someone want to attack them; they just want to defend themselves.So crocodiles aren't the ones to blame. We are living in world full of evils where people do whatever they can like killing animals just to look good and satifise themselves. And personally, I thing that crocodiles are more killed than humans due to the technology that invent a lot of dangerous materials that can kill the most dangerous reptile crocodiles.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. Crocodiles don't carry human-skin handbags, do they?
DeleteNowadays and due to the crual human interventions on nature, multiple animals are on the verge of extinction such as crocodiles. Their number is decreasing each year because humans are destroying their natural habitat and killing them by hundreds. If they remain idle, they may completely disappear which will have a harmful impact on our ecosystem. To protect themselves against the human's interventions, they should first create an alliance so that they can become stronger. Then they have to go far away from crowded areas in order to live safely. They should also make an army that will be responsible of their security. it will deals with any kind of human attack or temptation of hunt. Although it will be a bit difficult for human to face that because they are accustomed to use violence and power to obtain what they desire, they are obliged to so as not to harm the environment.
ReplyDeleteI think it would help crocodiles, but just Imagining an army of crocodiles is scary to me. No thank you!
DeleteBe wear be wear of the human kind
ReplyDeleteHe who is savage to us becomes hard with his kind
They’re out at all hours,day and night
I f you see one ,flee out of their eyesight
Stalking, killing and maiming with their gun
Because this tradition for them has become fun
Yes they cry but no one wipes his eyes
Around our bodies with the swarming flies
By the way, did you mean "be wear, be wear" like people use crocodile skins to make shoes and bags?
DeleteWow! I got chills down my spine. Creepy and creative!
DeleteCrocodiles are the world’s largest and perhaps most exciting reptiles. So when it comes to protect this legacy they are ready to do whatever it takes including killing. The relation between humans and crocodile is not quit friendly, crocodiles are always focused and ready for any disturbing movement from humans, that’s why there are way too many warning signs in beaches and parks, but of course, careless people just ignore those signs, and that what gets them killed at the end. Second, crocodiles always use surroundings as a cover which make hunting and killing even easier, so, a crocodile can be really close to you if you are swimming alone without even knowing it. The final step in dealing with humans is reacting, crocodiles react fast, in fact they react faster than humans, so they don’t let the chance for humans to run or even fight back. Those three steps, make crocodile the most dangerous animal. So, precautions must be made especially in countries where crocodile is a native.
ReplyDeleteThis is good, but I wanted you to write about how crocodiles can take steps to be more cautious of humans.
Deletebe careful of the foxy human
ReplyDeletethey are different types
they show only good sides
but they have the same points
kill you and use your parts
be careful of the foxy human
they all have weapon
at the sun set or in the morning .
You paint a tragic, but melodic picture with your poetic words.
DeleteBeware the deceitful human
ReplyDeletewho tricks you with friendly words
to join him for a little “picnic”.
and swim with him towards a “friendly” place.
His words aren’t friendly words,
instead they are all lies
and your skin will end up on a shelf it lies.
Beware the deceitful human.
Nice work! this is an apt warning for crocs everywhere.
DeleteBe aware of the human race
ReplyDeleteNot the Aliens in the outer space
They might seem very nice and clever
But that's where resides the danger
For no reason pointing the gun
Not letting anyone enjoy the sun
I hope that one day they'll realize
That our bodies have a price
Excellent work. Humans are the enemy!
DeleteCrocodiles are known to be one of the most dangerous creatures, but humans seems to be more and more dangerous. By their actions and reflections, humans are the horrible creature ever. for that, it is preferable for crocodiles to follow those steps to deal with human. First, where ever you feel the presence of human, try to avoid this place. Usually human don't lose the occasion, so when you feel their presence know that they will kill you. Second, try to be intelligent and make human a feast and kill them. Third, use you wisdom very well because nowadays human use some technologies and invention to capture crocodiles. So try to be more intelligent and don't let them use use your skin or tooth for their personal use , and don't fail in the trap. Humans are cruel creatures known for their brain, but crocodiles are more crafty.

ReplyDeleteA human is approaching me,
ReplyDeleteI will enjoy this diner with glee,
I have to bring him close to me,
I think it will be really easy.
I want to thank the sky,
For the opportunity that I want deny,
Of joy, I will cry,
When this human will die.
This is good work! I like that your poem is an ode to people as cuisine. Creative!
Deletezaaaz louz ! keep it up :D
DeleteBeware of the human even if it has small teeth
ReplyDeleteThey kill our fellow just for their pelts
They leave us without family just to create bags
Heartless They destroy us for some dollars
They see us as a threat, without seeing themselves
It is not we who did the world war, it's them
But the crocodile is accused of their misdeeds
A good human is the one who is dead!
I really like the last line in your poem. It could be a crocodile war campaign slogan!
DeleteThe crocodile is one of the most scaring animals in the world according to some surveys. That's true, but in fact they are not menacing until you approach them, until they feel your presence. It is weird but they feel unsafe and they react which make you unsafe. Therefore, there is a solution to avoid being hurt by crocodiles: staying away from them. Animals do not reflect, it is their nature, the law of the fittest. We cannot apply these rules to humans. Why? Humans are aware of what they are doing, Humans reflect. If they hurt you, they know that they are hurting you, they know that they are destroying your heart, your life. Crocodiles kills you once, on the oether side, we can do it once, twice, etc.. Wars, rapes, murders, robberies, these are some words that we do not hear in the crocodile's life. Humans are more dangerous than crocodiles. Staying away from these kind is not enough to safe yourself. To protect themselves, it is better for crocodiles to stay as far as possible from the territory of people because there are some persons who use to kill them. Also, the fact to stop over one place is dangerous for them, so moving from time to time will be helpful so that the could not be located. Be safe crocodile!
ReplyDeleteGood advice for any worried crocodile.
DeleteCrocodiles are large aquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. They are very dangerous animals. crocodiles can choose which it its eggs become boys and which become girls.The eggs buried deep in the sand will become girls and the ones near the surface will become boys. Something to do with the temperature. they eat anything. for example, Fish, small animals, people who aren't careful. today, crocodiles are on the verge of extinction and they face many problems with humans.In order to protect them, we must do certain steps. first step is to protect crocodile habitats and avoid pollution of rivers. Second step is to avoid over fishing in water bodies that are inhabited by crocodiles. Third step is Protect Crocodiles from Poaching and hunting by setting up vigilance patrols and rangers and punish individuals who indulge in poaching of crocs.
ReplyDeleteThis response is good, Mahdi, but it doesn't follow the blog topic.
DeleteCrocodile is a sly animal
ReplyDeleteIt has the eyes of a criminal
His tail can shoot you so far
And his mouth can eat your car
Hunting a crocodile is like a war
Dream of hunters became a nightmare
Crocodile is a smart killer
So beware dear reader!
Excellent work. Loved it.
DeleteHumans, stupid humans
ReplyDeleteafraid of innocent reptilians
killing crocodiles by millions
using our skin to gain billions
peace,you want to make peace ?
stop destroying our territories
leave us live as we please
we are creatures not some disease .
I love the ethos of this poem.
DeleteBeware the ugly human faces
ReplyDeleteWho look so afraid, trying to show us their innocence
To can swim in our river Nile
They hide their biggest gun and their wicked style
Beware their innocence
They kill us as if they were the only ones who deserve to live in this place
But don’t worry dear crocodiles
We will kill them first thanks to the solidarity’s crocodiles
I like that you rhymed with Nile. Good work.
DeleteFor humans, crocodiles are very dangerous animals. Of course we see on television that they kill and eat people; but what is the real reason of there aggressiveness ? Personally, I think that the aggressiveness is a answer against the behavior of humans. In most of the countries where crocodiles live, they try to kill those animals to sell their skin. So what if years ago; crocodiles were not aggro ? What if they became like this ? But even if, when we see a crocodile in front of us, our first reaction won't be running towards him to caress him. In fact we will run far away from the animal. Because I am that if a crocodile sees us in front of him, he will try to kill and eat us, and we know that so we try to avoid the disaster by running. It is a way to protect ourselves so for crocodiles it is the same, they try to protect themselves by attacking all the humans they see, or in general attacking all the kind of things they consider as a danger for them. I think we should leave each others alone, to may live in peace with animals, not only crocodiles, animals in general. In fact yes we are dangerous for them and they are dangerous for us, but those acts of aggressiveness in an answer for our fears for both us, to be killed, to fear of death.
ReplyDeleteYour use of the word "agro" made me laugh. I love that you used your post to explore up-and-coming English vocabulary.
DeleteIndeed we may say that crocodiles are among the most dangerous creatures on earth. But what can we say about humans? Are they dangerous? then why are they so dangerous? unlike crocodiles, which are dangerous to defend or defend those around them. Humans are dangerous from another point of view. Yes, the humans are dangerous cause they are so aggressive. what can we say about the human that's kill lives for money, which creates the power by war, terrorism, and much more dangerous the rape of women and children. we are living in a society of savages who have no fear of god or someone. Even with the power of justice still has people doing crimes. a simple example that could be argued for what I say, the father of a family who has come home drunk and starts hitting and throwing everything that moves. it may be a simple example but it may explain the fact that humans are more savage than all those animals which without them the earth can not survive because it is a cycle. to sum up, humans are far more dangerous than crocodiles.
ReplyDeleteI worry, I fear, I hesitate
DeleteI see that your blog is late
Submitted far after the due date
So I think a zero will be its fate.
Beware of humans who seems to be nice
ReplyDeletewhile you actually can be surprised
the fake smile that have no price
hiding the biggest part of slice
Crocodiles knowing as being clever
while they're defending themselves in front of any danger
quiet and steady at the point to be leisurely
waiting for you to freeze and hunt you frequently
The poem you did
DeleteIs as tight as a lid
But you must have forgot
Because on-time it is not
Beware the inhuman human
ReplyDeleteWho beckons you with crocodile tears
To share with him all his fears
And give him little cheers
He is the evil and the bad
Does everything to make you sad
Forget your beloved ones and your ancestors land
Beware of man
Never give him a hand.
This a great poem. Good rhyming work, Amar!
