Strong and long and zigzagged
Hisssss song. Silently speeding
Over the sand. Speeding fast, slithering,
Seeming slippery and slimy,
Stretched straight, not curled sleeping.

SPIED YOU!!!

Forked tongue, spit, kiss of poison,
Squeeze slowly, hug of death,
Kisssss with a cuddle,
Snake's supper.
SSSSSSSSSS
