The snake he sits upon his tree
waiting patient, patiently.
Below on paths,
prey walks past,
sometimes struck, strucken so their last;

Spiders dangle a midst their tangle
waiting on corrected angles,
not with any piece of luck
parachute bite & suck;

Lions & Tigers stalk around,
listening lightly with hungry sounds,
ready to lunch , to bunch then bound;

Talons readied within mid flight,
outstretched waiting to grip in tight,
anxious on food, on meals first bite.
Teeth sunk in, sunk in right.
Right through the flesh,
the veins to the juice,
to the taste that relaxes ,
relaxes them loose;
Telling them they  have their fill,
filling them in they made their kill.

Day comes & night has its scare,
Whenever where ever always beware,
When you see, see the snake there.
handle yourself, handle with care;
