I hear bushes rustle,
I sense something stirred -
Peripheral hustle
As panting is heard.
To panic's innate,
At that shadowy shape -
It's surely too late
To attempt an escape.
I hear it advancing,

To make peace with the fear.
I feel it surround me,
Both scaley and cold -
It wraps right around me
And tightens its hold.
I look up in shock,
At two ravenous eyes -
Our sights interlock
As it clenches its prize.
It squeezes my hips,
Ludely smirking in pride -
It drools from its lips
With its mouth opened wide.
Too fast to recall,
It devours me whole -

So prudely it spied,
And contrived its attack -
It fills me with pride
To be chosen its snack.
The walls are so rosy,
So comfy and warm -
A deathtrap so cozy
Embraces my form.
A burp and a moan,
Just before a short nap -
Its smile is my own
As I happily
