The Trouser Snake

There once was a king cobra called Lance,
Who heard music and went in a trance.
People thought he was asleep,
As his thoughts were so deep.
Then he reared up and lunged for their pants.

Interesting direction in which to go with the challenge..Reads like winning material...Good luck..Thanks for stopping by my work..I am sorry that I was not finished with it..I elaborated on the title some which now reads "New Life Gives Hope"..It is about thoughts that I had at a shower for our daughter's first step grandson...It was born a month early so he was there to be held by everyone at the shower..I am healing..I start PT on Friday..Sara
