Smilin' Mr. Dile

By Rosemary Barrett Byers

Early Intermediate

This suave solo in a carefree, ragtime style is a bit humorous as well. A clever little limerick that refers to the title precedes the piece, and was written by Ms. Byers herself. With a wink and a nod, the crocodile slyly draws you in - but beware - he might make you into his next snack!
