Skilful Springs!

————————————————————————————————

Tensed spring in action,

Coils of python stretches out,

Brings back prey safely!

**************************************************************

Whip Snakes!

————————————————————————————————

Cobra and Mamba,

Lift their hood to strike longer,

Use their head as whip!

    God’s creation leaves us marveling at every thing He made! A snake is simply amazing-no legs, the head is virtually everything and yet it thrives and does so contentedly!
