IT SQUIRMS , IT WRIGGLES,
IT CAN GLIDE AND SHAKE,
IT IS A LEGLESS WONDER , IT IS A SNAKE,
THAT’S ME!

We , the snakes , which the two leg walking creatures call us , are the elongated , legless carnivores. Everybody thinks that it is fun being a snake , slithering hither and thither. But I am fed up of being one. It is fun wriggling around but only at a young age. When I was at a tender age , I looked vicious. People were frightened of me. I always got delighted when I heard the blood curdling screams of the other creatures. They got flabbergasted and many even fainted after seeing me. I used to terrorize them and I enjoyed doing that. I was living a contented life. I never had the scarcity of food as the jungle had an abundance of it. Everyday I had grand time playing with my fellow friends. I was living a perfect life. But as the time passed , I  started becoming old. My bones became rigid and weak. While squirming , sliding and crawling on my stomach in a zig zag way gives me a severe backache. I cannot even go to a physiotherapist. Yesterday , some hunters came and took all my venom. I am down in the dumps. I cannot even have food as the creatures are getting the jungles cleared for industrialization. I am starving and full of sorrow. Now , I am a venomless useless snake lying in the scorching heat of the sun in the lush green grass of the jungle and dreading to meet my fate.
