☆ Human-Snake… ☆

O’ dear Snake !

You haven’t even

become fully civilized-

You aren’t even

adept at city life…

Nor have you mastered

the guiles of city-norms…

May I ask you something?

Will you bother to answer?

Why haven’t  you got the

deadly  poison  as yet..?

Why haven’t you learnt

 to bite like humans, the way

they excel at backstabbing..?
