Snake and Crow

(Practice short)

In the mist
A snake will hiss
Squirming all around
Spewing venom at all who persist
Coiling up to attack those who insist
Burrowing in the ground

In the midnight sky
A crow will fly
Diving in and out
Newcomers will shout
Flying in so fine
Shooting up to dine

Alas they meet
Their greet is not a perfect feat
For snake blinded crow
Hissing out venom too and fro
So toxic snake was to crow
Crow knocked out snake with one blow

Shooting up to dine on the mean ol snake
He had make a grave mistake
