snake took me hostage
a fat black bumpy snake took me hostage in a roll.
pulled me right down into the farthest darkest hole
What the heck! What the heck! What the heck!
whoa! I yelled out for he had his fangs around my neck
down we slithered and slunk, my captor and me
I doubted he was inviting me to afternoon tea
I desperately tried to find a pocket knife
But I have never carried one in my life
suddenly I realized I was writing a poem
Would I ever get to write it?
Would he bring me home?
Who! Whoa! Whoa! Let’s talk I screamed
It was a silent scream, an awful dream.
