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!



Won fifth place in Great escape Poetry Contest sponsored by John Hamilton
