How doth the little crocodile

How doth the little crocodile

Improve his shining tail

And pour the waters of the Nile

On every golden scale!

 

-- part of a poem by Lewis Carroll from his novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

 

Okay. You got me. Technically, this is a dwarf caiman from South America, and not a crocodile from the Nile. It's on exhibit at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. So this is how I think Lewis Carroll's poem should be adapted:

 

How does the dwarf caiman

Improve each shiny scale?

He bathes with savings of the layman

From every fishy sale
