A poem a day

Lewis Carroll is famous for his Alice in Wonderland, but he is also known for his comic fantasies and humorous verse. Here an example: 

The Crocodile by Lewis Carroll

How doth the little crocodile 
     Improve his shining tail, 
And pour the waters of the Nile 
     On every golden scale! 
  
How cheerfully he seems to grin, 
     How neatly spreads his claws, 
And welcomes little fishes in, 
     With gently smiling jaws!
  
  
*Note: doth = does
