Eerie Jungle
They were in the middle of nowhere
Their small plane had just crashed
the few supplies they had were to be treated with care
the trio would now have to survive the jungle if they dared
They set up camp on the jungle floor
and went to sleep,tomorrow they would explore
but in the middle of the night Lorna got bit
by a huge snake the venom was now flowing more and more
Her two companions hit the snake with a large stone
killing it, Lorna now was turning blue
she would soon die, and they would have to go on
as they covered her body they said a prayer too
The next morning they heard helicopters
they quickly ran to a clearing to signal the rescuers
they were pick up two hours later
and flown to a nearby clinic where they got water
They were glad to be alive
but their friend didn't survive
and when they recall that fateful day
they shed a tear and silently pray
