Unlucky Snake

Unlucky snake



A slippery fellow named mandrake

From the zoo made a swift prison break

But a redback named Crunch

Had him for lunch

Down here our spiders eat snake.

This is really good, Margaret and sure to be in the top!! Everything a limerick should be. So you call the Kangaroos down there Big Red? I should think one of them could kick the bejesus out of a lion, don't you?Luv, andrea
