Alligator

When a gator bites a person, rolls and tears away a limb
The person is to blame for this; their provocation made it bite.
The alligator only did the very thing it always does,
Maimed to eat, and ate to live; it's never had another choice.

On the other hand, if I so much as tried to clamp my jaws
Firmly to another's arm in order that I might eat it,
I would go to jail and see no sunny swamps for years.

Now we have two options we can choose from, listen carefully:
Either lock the violent gators off, or let me bite with freedom.

I prefer the gators face no trouble; I admire the gator attitude.

Today in my computer science lecture, someone sitting a few rows ahead of me was emulating mario 2 (the western version). Since I already knew the material of the lecture, I watched his game for a bit. When he got to birdo, he seemed to be having trouble. Perhaps his timing was not good enough to jump on the eggs, I thought. Maybe he just wasn't reading the animation. But then he died, and opened another tab where he googled how to beat birdo. It was incredible to behold; he not only lacked the ability to understand something so obvious, but even lacked the will to figure it out for himself. Why even play the video game at that point? Of course, he had friends and I had a 1-seat radius of empty chairs, so maybe he knows something I don't.
