What is the tone of this passage?

The Crocodile by Lewis Carroll

How doth the little crocodile

Improve his shining tail,

And pour the waters of the Nile

On every golden scale.

How cheerfully he seems to grine,

How neatly spreads his claws,

And welcomes little fishes in,

with gently smiling jaws.
