Text:
- 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!

- My Criticism:
- The style of poetry is rhyming. The first line contains eight syllables and the second line contains six syllables and alternately so on and so fourth. The poem is very obvious that it is about a crocodile. The text has a unifying central theme created by the perfect union of all artistic elements.
