The snake was held <br />In another's hand. <br />Kill it I said, <br />Before it strikes. <br /> <br />The other struggled <br />With it <br />And could not contain <br />The head. <br /> <br />Beware it will <br />Strike you. <br />Get its head <br />Before it bares <br />Its fangs. <br /> <br />The snake seemed <br />Weak. <br />I rushed in <br />And pulverized <br />Its head, <br />Before it had <br />A chance to raise <br />It. <br /> <br />The sight of its <br />Limp body <br />Helped me to relax. <br /> <br />It cannot harm <br />Me now <br />That red headed <br />Snake <br />I've fixed <br />It.<br /><br />Mary Mc Creath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dream-the-snake/
