Narrow Escape

Narrow escape

Daring the jungle,
had always been my greatest desire,
to pursue the rabbits right into their hole.
But mom won't let me go

Anyway, I schemed out a plan,
and  I sneaked out at noon.
At last the wild stretches out right in my front,
Off i went in search of the rabbits

But things went too bad,
for I dug my hands into a hole, searching it for rabbit,
but i got bitten,
alas, it was a snake den not a rabbit hole

Forgetting my fruits, I ran all the way home. Mom took me to the doctor.
“well, we have to amputate his hand, it damaged already,better than having all parts paralyzed"
