My Cobra Pet

I have not one regret That a cobra is my pet Yes some of the fear still lingers Since he bit off three of my fingers And I'm willing to take a bet He's the nicest cobra you've ever met You may ask why a poisonous snake I just love the hisses he makes Ever since he was quite young He tickles my nose with his tongue And I love the excitement it brings When he swallows live wriggling things He likes to snuggle you see Stay calm and he wont bite me If I dare move he will try To spit his venom in my eye And pray I don't have to pee For he sleeps right between my knees Cobra Write A Rhyme About Your Favorite Pet, Living Or Not Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina Riddle 9/27/19

Brings a whole extra meaning to "Don't let the bedbugs bite".

When I thought it could not get any better, you had to add this: " I love the excitement it brings When he swallows live wriggling things" and it got EVEN better!
