SLITHERING AWAY

SLITHERING AWAY


Slithering on
The ground
The snake
Reached
A pair
Of 
Dainty feet...

Shall I strike?
It thought
Merely to
Taste fair 
Blood...

The feet
Stood
Firm and 
Nails shone
Burgundy!

What pretty
Toes, delicate
Veins
Amazing
Legs
Observed
The snake
In admiration...

It slithered 
Closer
And still
The feet owner
Showed no
Fear!

Whoa!
The snake
Exclaimed 
I believe
I shall have
A taste...

It bit
Once, twice,
Thrice
Losing its fangs...

Ow!
Feet of stone
It whimpered
Never again
For I want
To bite
Such as 
These...

So the snake
Slithered 
Away
In a snake's

Agony!
