CROCODILE TEARS

The words great and tragedy are overused.
He was great.
This or that was great.
It was a great tragedy.
But both of these words cannot be overused to describe the death of Steve Irwin.
The whole world loved this guy.
He was so positive and amiable.
Once again the good has died young.
I never wanted the Crocodile Hunter to get hurt when he stood in front of all of those hungry crocs.
But I was amazed that he so rarely got hurt.
Like the boyish John Denver (whom Steve Irwin resembled), we have lost a young heart of gold.
All of the planet's crocodiles are crying...
Yes, real crocodile tears.
