The Crocodile Hunter
When you met him in person,
He would just turn and say,
I'd rather meet animals,
So crikey and g'day.
When his animals saw him,
They would all run and scatter,
For they just couldn't bear,
His fair dinkum patter.
All joking aside,
When he's put to the test,
There was nobody better,
Steve Irwin's the best.
Steve treated all animals,
With the utmost respect,
His efforts to save them,
Will have a lasting effect.
Whether living on land,
Or under the sea,
Steve showed us how,
We could all be set free.
He brought to the world,
An insatiable need,
To understand animals,
His warnings we must heed.
He gave us an insight,
Into animal behaviour,
He taught us how united,
We can be each others saviour.
We must live and let live,
If this doesn't apply,
We'll be in mortal danger,
Our planet will die.
By nurturing all life,
We could then ensure,
A future for all,
Prevention not cure.
Endangered species,
Steve strived to save,
In his quest for knowledge,
His own life he gave.
As for his wife and children,
They must never forget,
We owe Steve and his ideals,
a tremendous debt.
His work will live on,
Through his family and friends,
They will try to ensure,
Steve's work never ends.
His legacy must be,
That all life will remain,
His unfinished task,
Is for all life to to sustain.
Steve Irwin the man,
Was an extraordinary punter,
He'll forever be remembered as,
'' The Crocodile Hunter ''

0007 A Crocodile's Tears for Steve
I shall miss my pet human, Steve.
I loved to play with him,
hear the gasps from the watching millions,
grinning my big toothy grin,
stretching up to grab the snack
knowing well that I could have snacked
on him instead or
knocked him aside, grabbed his baby,
gulp
but hey, who’s stoopid enough
to eat their meal ticket?
Steve worked hard for me –
who has a pet that efficient, hard-working?
Better than a robot and
just as predictable.
He made all the arrangements,
kept me in luxury.
And the really big deal,
We crocs get protected world-wide
if we pretend to behave around people
and so do all the animals,
which is a good thing
since we can all, each species,
do one thing at least better than any man..
did you think of that, pet?
So though humans, being the inferior
do-a-lot-of-things-but-badly species,
do lots of idiotic things
that would ruin the planet
that animals run so well
if you let us,
they’re OK as pets
if you treat them right
and we have to share the planet
with the idiots anyway
don’t forget that animals
always know one thing above all –
is it in our interest
to kill our pet humans?
that’s where that stoopid sting-ray
showed itself an inferior species,
guess it hadn’t known Steve
long enough to suss that out,
or got swollen head (well look at it) being
on TV, thought it was a character
in Neighbours
What a waste – I’d trained him so well,
I wonder if he really knew that..
anyway, we made a good double act..
I shall really miss my pet human,
Steve.

Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They're on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know.

Steve Jobs Remembered
Something about SteveJobs people don’t know now
his parents met in Wisc. with the cows.
Steve dad’s is Arabic so marriage was a no, no.
didn’t stop them from having a Steve in San Francisco.
He invented the personal computer, the iPod, iPad, and the iPhone,
he left a legacy with inventions still unknown.
Steve Jobs is compared to Albert Einstein,
Steve was the genius of our time.
He never finished college with a degree,
he has done a lot to help the human race succeed.
Steve Jobs we will all miss you,
“Please Rest In Peace.”

Herein lies our problem. If we level that much land to grow rice and whatever, then no other animal could live there except for some insect pest species. Which is very unfortunate.

Steve and Peter - a tale of two fish(es)
it's strange how fish behave
in water and on track
and how they take the brave
leaving us in lack
the tail of one so obvious
took steve right in the heart
and left a gap for all of us
no one can play that part
the other tail a strange old name
when cars swerve on the dirt
and brocky left us just the same
with death they both did flirt
so let us beware of fish
and their tales of woe and shock
and make a silent secret wish
for our friends irwin and brock
For Steve Irwin and Peter Brock - two Aussie blokes

Previously Intellingent Mammals
There are some animals
that they grow up very slow.
They believe that this world
is made and turns only around them.
That the joy and happiness
must be the only purpose of their life.
That if they want to survive
they must exterminate all the other animals.
That the life is very short
and unique to be somebody patient.
There are some animals that don't
accept death as a part of their life.
Some of them wish to be another animal
A stronger animal, more clever, better looking.
There are some animals
that they live very different
from all the other animals
Call them.....................man.
