Greenie, the one-eyed gator by William J Neven Saturday, December 17, 2005 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan Okay, it's kinda corny but it's also kinda Christmas - and besides who ever heard of a sleigh landing on a Spanish-tiled roofed home? [With apologizes to Santa and Rudolph.]
Greenie, the one-eyed gator Had a very toothy mouth And if you ever saw it you would want to check it out. All of the other gators Used to grunt and hiss his name They never thought poor Greenie Would ever eat any swampy game. Then one humid, Christmas Eve Greenie seemed to slay A tall green, thing that shone so bright It blinded them for most of the night So all the gators feared him But later each croaked out with glee For Greenie, the one-eyed gator, Had eaten someone's Christmas tree.

This is so very cute, William! There is another version out there called "Randolph the Reg-gunned cowboy". I'll have to see if my son remembers it. Thank you for sharing... In Spirit, Bear

Very Cute, William - and I hear Greenie is once again very hungry this year - be careful! And have a wonderful Christmas, too.
