Gator by the Tail

Cripes! I really did it this time.
Grabbed that gator by the tail.
It’s snapping jaws a menace
Not just to me, but any soul
Who enters in his sphere of reach.
Taste the fury of a creature
Who survives without emotion
In his murky world below.
I knew when I waded in his lair
The possibilities were there
For vile entanglement, but there’s a large
Reward for taking chances.
I know you wouldn’t want to see me spurn,
Simply turn and walk away
While the constant music plays
And the competition dances.
But now that I’ve found the Holy Grail,
Took this gator by the tail,
While his massive body flails,
Tell me, what am I to do?
If I hold, can I compete?
If I let go, am I dead meat?
Now’s the time for super heroes,
Time to pay the Devil’s due.
