ODE TO THE CROCODILE HUNTER

Steve Irwin was a man,
A mighty man was he,
He wrestled with the crocodiles,
And drank cobra venom for tea.

There wasn't a creature he couldn't catch,
And swing about his head,
But because of the ocean's gentlest creature,
Steve Irwin now is dead.




TRIBUTE TO THE STINGRAY

The stingray is a fearsome beast,
A most mighty fish is he,
He swims where-ever he damn well likes,
And he kills with awful glee.

Sometimes he's happy and playful,
Sometimes he likes to kill,
But that's all right, he's still my friend,
I call him 'Stabby Bill'.
