About This Poem

The Charmer

Charming a deadly poisonous snake 
Is a hazardous occupation
For if the charmer makes one mistake
It will ruin his concentration

Youre a funny guy Ha ha ha. I enjoyed this one, once I sunk my teeth into it. Nothing like the taste of cobra in the evening!

Richard, you are also a very funny and witty guy. Don't spice the meat up too much it could bite back.

Indeed, a deadly poisonous snake usually had bright colored skin, but they are very beautiful, careful for your steps, otherwise they will ruin your holiday XD-Hug, Yanny

I will indeed stay away from these deadly vipers for I am no charmer. But they are indeed beautiful sirens. Thank you for taking the time to read my poem Yanny. I hope you have a wonderful week.

Or it will ruin him. Will he be still alive? Lol. I can't see how he can be exempt while others wouldn't survive. Cute, John. Love ya, Toquyen

LOL, You saw just where I was going with this. My original write for the last line was "It would be the end of his vocation" But I liked this version better. For me it was so much funnier.
