Fer De Lance

Let her rip, and take a dip in varied a color of blood
Special swindling snake they be, dancin in the mud
Watch yer backside though for when they go lancin
While yer back is turned and fancied for a strike

All the gold in the world you'll give for a pike
Demon eyes glaring beneath the leafs 
If he sees ya now, trust me it'll be brief
He got the features of a shadow, just alike

So I warn ya not ta step o'er that hill my friend
He's waiting for ya, ole spear head, dead end
Then he got yer toe, so now that ya know
Fer De Lance come and took ya below

Nancy Jones Date: 7/12/2011 7:59:00 PM Fun to read, thanks! I especially like the phrase "features of a shadow." Login to Reply Tim B Date: 7/12/2011 9:49:00 PM To be honest this one began in my head and I thought it should be serious, but as I began to write it felt like I should make it more jovial. Mind you I'm not sure a poem about backstabbing and death by poison from the bite of a vicious snake can be jovial but that was my goal in the end :). I am glad you enjoyed it, sorry for the long response.
