Beware if you do linger
Do not linger long
For when you linger longer
Long lingering can go wrong

A boy once lingered longer
Longer than a while
The longest linger ever
Right by a crocodile

Longing for its dinny-dins
Feeding time ideal
Croc ate his croquette fingers
His McBoy burger meal

So if you linger longer
Longer than you should
Don’t linger by a crocodile
You could be gone for good
