Great Escape

Great was the escape, you need to hear Riding on the blade of death, oh dear Eerie and scary too, from my rear An attack on me, it was so near. Tried to swallow me, he a frogster Emerged from the leaves, was a monster Silent as death behind a piper Craving to catch him, came a viper. And that greedy frog, I failed to understand Prayed by the snake, yet on his mouth he wished Eagerly to catch me and to relish, his last supper!
