According to Florida Fish and Wildlife
there are more than 1.3 million alligators
in its swamps and streams, lagoons and lakes,
and intercoastal passageways. There are also
more than 21 million humans in the state says
the World Population Institute. Are you bored
yet, or are you ready for some math? One alligator
equals 21 people. A party with a hundred guests
comes with close to five alligators wading
in nearby water sources. So leash your pets
and don’t go splashing drunk. Hold your decorum
before the evident threat. Write indoors. Do not
barbecue by the water’s edge. Alligators dart out,
seize any moment, need to eat something other
than fish under Florida moonlight, retirement to paradise,
I really admire this poem too!
Hello again Indran,
