K illing its prey with bacteria stained saliva O n queue, it is patient as the blood poisoning commences M aking deadly moves out of the savannah grass O verpowering even the largest of beast D evastating team of dragons eviscerate a corpse in a few hours O n Indonesia’s Island it reins

These huge lizards really do look like dragons, Abe, and you've educated us with your poem. I didn't know it killed its victims with "bacteria-stained aliva" or how quickly they could consume a dead animal. Awesome acrostic! Love, Carolyn
