Python

The python hung down from the tree,
It hissed and it scared little me,
I gave it a whack,
To make it turn back,
And have someone else for its tea.

GREAT job, I see great minds think alike. I chose limerick form too. Something about doing a limerick. You just feel more confident to do something fast in that form!!
