Of Snakes

Of Snakes

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen
"

One cannot be too careful in the jungle!

"

Of Snakes

There are snakes in the long grass

with venom in their fangs

that can stop a man's heart

dead!

So wear tough boots,

be sure to watch where you tread

and carry a stout stick with you

always!
