Three more great entries -- leading, of course, to three more B.L.O.B.s:

To Deda, for this pretty piece of Peter Pan-ery:

We promised Coach Davies that we would be good
And work out and practice and win like we should
If only he'd let us try swimming croc-free
But he leered like old Hook at his hapless mate Smee

To Jack the Sailor for the omious warning of:

Somewhere beyond the "C"
Somewhere waiting for me
A crocodile with a big smile
And watches the kids that go swiming

And a great big hello and hug to Trapper (welcome back to the Challenge!, darlin'!) and a B.L.O.B. for this definitely un-rusty bit of verse:

But as weeks went by and more swimmers died
Coach Davies got threatened by official guys
So he sealed the croc's jaw with a roll of duct tape
And he clipped off his claws to lessen his scrape
But they'll never heal the wounds we got
Swimming fast from the crocodile stock
Said our namesake in Darwin town,
"The strongest will survive!", ...and the rest will drown!


Way To Go, Challenge!rs!!
