"Eat Your Neighbors"

"See that pond? A gator lives there." 

This is the most common phrase I hear in Florida. 

That and, "Fresh gator jerky for sale!"

Whenever I had pesky neighbors in the past, 

I just stomped on the floor, banged the walls, or hit the ceiling with a broom. 

The natives here have learned to eat theirs, instead. 

From jerky, to keychains, to souvenir heads, 

Floridians choose to bite rather than be bitten. 

Because it rains so much, there are bodies of water everywhere.

Which means gators have homes in your backyard, or just down the street. 

Time for dinner!
