Get a Life

Releasing a lost-in-city Inland Taipan into the wild, the snake handler exclaimed with joy 'go! get a life'. Slithering away snake hissed back 'you too'!

Oh God, an Inland Taipan?! lol. Just a drop of its venom is enough to kill over 3 dozen men plus a full-grown elephant! Congrats, Thriveni.

Yeah! there is so much Human-animal conflict, sometimes both cross the limits, humans more so. I always wondered of these snake catchers who take the risk. I am so happy it placed in the contest. Thank you for the reading and sweet words dear poet. Thank you.
