Walking through the park one day
I saw slithering snake
Taking a break in it's slither
To dangle, pendulum like
From the mouth of a hippopotamus
I watched transfixed
As the snake swayed
Back and forth
Back and forth
Until
Snap!
I was dangling from the hippo's mouth
The snake was set free
Hurrying away
To leave me to my fate
Of awaiting the next poor soul
To fall for the spell of the Hippo
And pray the beast
Doesn't swallow.
