Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Snake Warning

I'm in a fav'rite spot of mine,

All coiled up and ready to spring,

Should a rodent come by to dine

On after stunned by my fanging.

But then I see a human come,

Walking briskly and right toward me.

This species is so bothersome,

An encounter's about to be.

If I give a venomous bite

A lot of hassle will ensue.

Perhaps a warning from me might

Be the sensible thing to do.

And so I let out a loud hiss

To warn of a coming disbliss.
