| A tiny Twig Snake in Mangalore Zoo! |
Slipping and slithering,
Engulfing little Jerry,
Squirming and flexing,
To digest the quarry.
Boneless and twisted,
Venomous and viscious,
Coiling to rest,
Crushing to death!
Coiled thrice on Lord Shiva,
Depicting past, present, future,
Vasuki reminds of three cycles,
Of life's timed out nature!
Prayed by many,
And never killed,
Hiding in cavities,
Cold blooded and still!
Sneaking upon a prey unaware,
Little fools roaming without a care,
Are engulfed within a single strike,
Swallowed in one wholesome bite.
Be careful this monsoon,
Watch your carefree step,
Hop above but do not trip,
Else the resting serpent flips!!
