Thuds
North Queensland, Australia; on a far away beach,
Two families went camping, not a phone could reach!
They had a great day; and turned in for the night,
After awhile, Andrew knew something wasn't right!
He heard some thuds; saw out the door of his tent,
A four meter Croc; door and his leg it did rent!
It began to pull and drag Andrew, still on his back!
Woman jumped on; became the focus of attack!
With haste! another friend came out with a gun!
He shot the Croc! now moving fast! they had to run!
The Croc was dead! but the two were bleeding bad!
They rushed them to what ever help could be had!
Both survived! but if you want to picnic with the crew,
Remember,"Salties" are wanting to dine out there too!

kinda a true story! thanks Marion!
I get the other story words you're saying.
About wolves /crocodiles.
And yes all true.
thank you Liliana!
What a story! I was talking to a friend who used to live in Zimbabwe where he owned a farm and ran a water ski school. There were crocs in the water.
"Crocs!," I gasped. "In the water?"
"Yes."
"Wasn't that a bit dangerous?"
"only if they fell off into the water," he said. And then he added, "We just used to take them out and pray they didnt fall off."
This poem of yours reminded me of the conversation. I certainly wouldn't want to meet a big croc for real. The tiny baby ones look cute though.
Love the poem Jim x

Struth Jim!! A poem that what does for Aussie camping holidays what Jaws did for swimmers!
Love and respect the way you can take a news reality theme and weave something magical from it.
Something even a tad dark and pull a reader here and there and deliver a conclusion of relief for one and all.
And never knew they were nicknamed 'Salties' and thank you for that.
Full marks to you Jim for sharing and writing and I hope all is well with you.
And I like your choice of title!
thanks bunches Shaun!
