Ode to Irwin.....

You owned and operated
The Australia zoo
Millions of animal lovers
Respected and admired you

You wrestled crocodiles
without fear or fright
And for the conservation of animals
You put up a fight.

Entertaining and educating
With passion and desire
Khaki shirts and shorts
Were your only attire.

You got kicked, pooped on
Bitten and scratched
But that didn't stop you
From coming right back.

We'll never forget the words
"Little beauty", "crikey", and "rippa"
Or all the funny times
When a little snake bit ya.

Though you are gone
From an unfortunate misadventure
We will never forget you
As Crocodile Hunter we'll always remember.
