bob

I once met an alligator whose name was Bob.

I soon found out he was known as the swamp's heartthrob.

The ladies claimed they liked the way he chewed his meat.

They liked that he didn't dribble blood like the others, and that he was neat.

Well, as it just so happens, this alligator, Bob, one day

Striked up a conversation with me about how he eats his prey.

He asked me if I would like a demonstration as to how he chews.

So as not to be rude, I replied that sure, I had nothing to lose.

Even though I'm now quite reliant on my wooden peg, 

Bob, the alligator, ate the neatest an alligator could eat a leg.

the blue speck (unfinished)

So I walked out of my house today after literally falling out of bed (a bunk bed) and as I stepped into Freddy's Corner Grocer, I noticed a strange squishy substance almost congealed on the floor.  I figured it was just a piece of chewing gum that little Federico had spit out during closing the night before.  As I walked to the register a shiny blue glitter beamed through my retina, but I shrugged it off as another reflective surface one may find in any candy aisle.  On the corner of the street while drinking orange juice I looked directly ahead at the pedestrian crossing sign and saw a little blue speck peaking out of the boxy woman's square purse.

I continued to walk down the sidewalk and fixed my gaze to the rhythmic cycling of the little boy on the tricycle.  It was a bedazzled first bike, complete with streamers on the handlebars and a fresh red paint job.  The blue speck peaked out of the handlebar and climbed onto the sidewalk, hiding itself between a piece of glass and a Reese's wrapper in the crack.  It then leaped quickly from the cement to the No Parking Anytime sign and cozied itself to the inside of the letter O.  I stared at it inquisitively, wondering if this blue speck could really find any nesting comfort in a two-dimensional letter O.

The speck then passed me in the window of the maroon car, with something like a tongue sticking out of its sliver of a mouth.  It was starting to get personal.  I had to take action.
