Slithery

 

Dank and dark

Is the bog.

Slithery

         Hides in fog,

 

              Lying in wait

              By the log;

                 Lusting for

                        Flesh of frog.

 

                   Little frogs

                      Sleep and dream

                   They hear sounds

            Of newts scream,

 

      So, beware!

                When there’s fog

           At the dank

                 And dark bog

 

            Slithery

            Is sliding,

           Patiently

         In hiding.

 

          Then, in fog

    At the bog

By the log,

Comes a frog.

 

Chomp!
