Poem:

Snakes

Slithering sneakily through the weed

though these snakes are never seen.

Their skin is dark as the black of night

 Always hiding from the light.

I am the king and cobra's my name

there's no possible way I'll ever be tame.

So when you here a hissing hidden from sight,

Beware of my deadly bite.
