This specimen

                     I interest in

                           Its qualities abound.

                                               Upon solid ground

                                                                 Its sole transportation

                                                                                     With some speculation

                                                                             Was discovered in

                                                                Its long abdomen.

                                               Sparkling scales

                             Skyrocketing sales 

           Surround a slender

                 Skeleton. An expert blender

                                      In its habitat

                                            Slithering slyly this way & that.

                                                                        Silently slipping

                                                                                      Into the Mississipping

                                                                                            Out of sight

                                                                 So as not to cause fright

                                            To an innocent bystander.

                            While some slander

                 “Goodness sake”

                               You can count on the snake.
