One thing led to another....

We went to Braum's the other night...there was a man in a snake skin suit. I kept thinking about that suit...and one thing led to another....

The Boy in the Alligator Suit

The sun was high
The day was hot
“Ice Cream” I thought…
“Would hit the spot!”

I went on down
To the ice cream store
Where I waited in line
Twenty minutes or more…

I was standing there
Minding my own
When along came a woman
With a Ruby cell phone

She talked and gabbed
At the top of her voice
I heard every word
I had no choice…

Next in line
I kid you not…
Was a pink haired lady
With an Ocelot.

That cat was the strangest
I ever did see…
He growled and purred,
And winked at me.

It wasn’t long
Till the line grew more
Wrapped around the corner
To the antique store…

From down the block
Came a jolly round man
Out of his elbow
Grew an extra hand.

It flopped around
bouncing to and fro
Then it waved at me
Wouldn’t you know!

The line was moving
Slowly though…
When added to our numbers
Was a checkered buffalo…

Now, the odd thing was…
The saddle she wore…
On it sat a gnome…
In a yellow pinafore.

The sights and sounds
Seemed strange to be…
Then I realized
they were staring …at me!

“What…” I asked,
Perplexed at best…
“Well…” said the gnome,
“It’s the way you’re dressed!”

They were gawking…
From my hat to my boots…
“We’ve never seen a boy,
… in an alligator suit!
