He’s big and poisonous
And rapped in a circle
Ready to attack
As you walk by

His tail is rattling
Giving a warning
But it’s ignored
By the man walking by

His mouth opens
With fangs hanging down
Sharper than a knife
It’s razor sharp

The snake springs out
Rapping himself around a leg
Biting through the skin
Letting poisons suck in

He falls to the ground
Crying helplessly
On his grave stone wrote
“Here lies snake bite”

I wrote this poem on October 28, 2010. I was going through some pictures of snakes and snake bites. It was kind of interesting, so I wrote this story in a form of a poem. Do you have any cool snake stories? What is the Most famous snake? What is you favorite snake? Think about your own stories. I hope you enjoy.
