I pity the poor reptiles and the leather hags

Those of you
who reckon
that the crocodile
is genuinely excellent
to wear
remember it takes 4 croc’s
to make 1 handbag
exotic skins are now becoming
rare.

is that the
fascination pretty ladies?
gullible people,
snobbish wanting souls
pliability, durability
is that what you’re looking for
goodness knows
why arn’t there more
controls.

But money speaks
and crocodiles are
thought to be
better than the caiman
and therefore
people pay a lot more
for some reason
its the hags and snobs
and low life that ignore
The fact that some
souls, are put to death
just so they can hang
a dead skin bag
upon their arm
with all its avid mystery
and breath

they had to be dismembered
cut down in their prime
hauled out of some river
they loved the mud and slime
their skin is then stripped carefully
and a water based cleaner, used
that will not affect the colour
or the texture, the abused
could then hardly imagine
that their tender belly skin
would end up as a handbag
or a wallet, Lets begin
to understand
blood money and karmic notes
of wrath
from the vile production
the money making path

Boots from belly leather
with features from the back
the curtain comes dowm
on those souls
in the, meanest of attack
Nile Croc’s are sought after
the males grow pretty long
genuinely durable and massively
strong
tanning all these dead souls skins
for versatility
needs the expert tanners
and clearly out there, we
see all sorts of textures
we see all sorts of hue’s
unique patterns, unique markings
so salt my dears is used
to stop the skins from festering
liming the next stage
to rid the skin
of all that fat
machinery they engage
to split it
and that’s that

the Crocodiles were shot
and killed
and the price just had to be
reflected for the blood
and guts
and the murder of the soul
that swam in all that water
and was in complete control
until the hags got wind of them
and decided they would buy
a sexy little dead skin number
to swing, as they walk by
proud of what they now possess
a karmic debt but they
are as ignorant as the day is long
and whatever they did pay
was not enough for the crocodiles
who paid the, ultimate price
hags and slags and low life bags
No I’ve never thought were nice
