about

Unless your last name is Irwin, you don't mess with crocs...

lyrics

Welcome to my marshland home!
Did you bring a friend or did you come alone?
Won’t you take a seat and rest your weary bones.
Please disregard the mess, I did not anticipate having guests.
Where are my manners? Would you like a tea or coffee? Any allergies or gluten free requests?
And that’s when you realise you’re surrounded by fragments of egg, a mother’s love and
50 hatchlings closing in upon the nest.
Things to keep you up at night.
Panic, terror, fear and fright.
Your worst fears are realised.
Do you flounder, fight, freeze or fly?
A murderous killing machine.
Brilliant white teeth, soul unclean,
A lacerated snake ain’t this mean.
She glares at you with slitted eyes
Watching closely for routine
Waiting to let loose 60 jagged guillotines.
Your final pirouette: a pivot from person to protein.
There is no use in struggling
As you scream into red and green.
Your last breath an eternal gurgling,
Your character killed off.
End scene.
