Moral of the story: Discretion is the better part of valour.

In Po-Bhai Bay, where the monsoons sing,
Lived KT, a croc with a joke-loving swing.
For pranks on the fishes, his heart did yearn,
From dolphins so friendly to sharks rather stern.



Beneath the waves, in a kelp forest’s gleam,
KT shared playful banter, a comical team.
With shrimp and with seahorses, jokes whispered in fins,
A secret society, where laughter always wins.


Even the jellyfish, with stinging embrace,
Joined in on the fun, at a whimsical pace.
The ocean floor rumbled with a playful delight,
As KT’s jokes brought the creatures together in light.



He’d mimic a swordfish, pointy and grand,
Sending real ones in a fin-flapping fandango.
He’d whoosh past the sharks, with a toothy grin wide,
Leaving chaos in bubbles, as they snapped at the tide.

But trouble, like catfish, would often arise,
His jokes landing KT in watery surprise.
One day, a big grouper, all grumpy and gruff,
Took offense to a prank, it got rather rough.

MMT to the rescue, with a matronly glare,
Reminding KT, with a hiss in the air,
“Discretion is the better part of valour,” she’d say,
“Pick your battles, or you’ll end up as prey!”

Once, he disguised as a log by the shore,
Startled a hippo, causing a watery roar.
Elephants trumpeted, ears flaring wide,
RockyT intervened, with a flick of his tail, shouting “Slide!”




Even the tigers, with stripes of bold black,
Had fallen victim to KT’s comical attack.
A well-timed roar, a splash in the night,
Sent the hunters scrambling, not a pleasant sight.

One day, an octopus, with tentacles eight,
Caught KT reaching for a crab, sealing his fate.
A tangled embrace, a desperate struggle ensued,
KT learned that eight arms could hold their own, subdued.



Then came the eels, electric and bold,
Zapping KT’s backside, a story untold.
His prank on a moray, a flash and a jolt,
Left KT tingling, a lesson well-taught.


But one day a whale, with a mournful song,
Warned of a danger that couldn’t be wrong.
A hungry lion, by the jungle’s dark edge,
Stalker of prey, with a fearsome beige ledge.

A playful sea lion, with a bark and a bounce,
Chased KT in circles, a watery pounce.
But KT outsmarted him, with a twist and a turn,
Leaving the sea lion, with a lesson to learn.


A hermit crab, with a borrowed shell fine,
Became the target of KT’s design.
He mimicked a mermaid, with a voice sweet and high,
Luring the crab out, with a tear in its eye.

MMT scolded him then, with a voice firm and strong,
“Respect for others, where did it go wrong?”
Shame struck KT’s heart, a regret ever deep,
A promise to mend, his jokes for good to keep.

Silence saved KT, that much was clear,
No room for a prank when real danger was near.
He learned that true courage, though brave and bold,
Sometimes means keeping your fins in your fold.

Now KT whispers jokes, with a sly, toothy wink,
Discretion’s the motto, no need for a brink.
He plays with the dolphins, he teases the whales,
But knows when to hide, when a predator exhales.
