Alligators in the Sewers

Are NYC sewers crawling with alligators?

Alligators in the Sewers

 

By Elton Camp

 

Because live baby alligators are for sale

This has laid the basis for a fanciful tale

So many believe urban legends it’s a pity

Even about alligators in New York City

 

The story is that baby alligator will grow

And then down the toilet people throw

Such stories may seem plausible enough

Without a closer look at such weird stuff

 

No matter how many times it’s been told

Alligators can’t survive where it’s so cold

And sewer workers who’ve done it for years

Never listed alligators as one of their fears

 

The facts about this you may believe or not

But not a single alligator has the sewers got

But no matter how hard anyone does try,

Some will still believe this incredible old lie
