i like snakes, hanging out with mates
i like lizards, and big old blizzards

I'm poet and didn't know it

 

[Dutchy88]

I love reptiles yes I do,
even though I have to clean their poo,
one is just never enough,
they all seem to have the right stuff.
they defently make for an interesting life,
sometimes I think I'd pick them over the wife.

hahahaha

So unique in many ways
Naughty and nice
Amazing
King of all reptiles
Each one has a different personality

APS Poem Competition Thread

I am 'right on'
I got a python
And when he sheds
I go to my shed
Cos he's gonna need a bigger pyth-home

No I'm not in the running for a calendar, but thought I'd join in the fun

 

[Albino93]

Well i aint no poet thats for sure, thankfully i already won myself a calender

 

[GellyAmbert]

I dont know if it counts as poetry.. but sometimes when I'm feeding my snakeys I sing this song in my head......

They'll be coiled round the mousie when they eat
They'll be coiled round the mousie when they eat
First they'll strike and then they'll coil
Then all at once they'll swallow
They'll be coiled round the mousie when they eat....

Snakes slithers along the ground,
Sneakyly without a sound,
Others high up in the trees,
Dodging all the birds and bees,
Posions bite then hide away,
Strangles hold and there they stay,
I like snakes their cool and cold,
Best of all the grow real old!



I think I may write the wife a poem after that, see if I can get me another prize : )

Tim and l a herping went
Found three girls in a tent
Tim took one and l had two
All the way home all we could say was WOOOOHOOO.....solar 17 LOL

 

[geckodan]

There once was a herper from Nantucket
Who had a snake and tried to ......... bugger, I forget the rest.

Mention jags you'll get a fued.
mention letters Rh you'll get sued.
This forums awesome what can I say.
I'm friends with the mods, my favirouts Fay.
Heaps of knowledge at this place,
My forever alone thread nearly got me maced,
Iv been here for a while I feel like mutton,
if you want your beardie named use the search button.

 

[IceWhiteFreak]

Ryming about herps yes herps concept is sick
Currently albino how I can lay it down i feel melanistic
i love breeding it makes me feel like a big man
Those little devils pipping, waiting i can not stand
in it for the passion not flooding the market
Ladies have neuros they love it even tho I were target
Keep average snakes your collection won't be of zen
Quality mateing seasons start with quality females nothing under 8/10

 

[Fuscus]

Roses are red
Bredli are too
Poems are hard

Bredli

 

[Kraft]

Alone in the world I am a snake
alone in wild in the sun I bake
rumbling footsteps cause the earth to quake
so a herpers foot is mine to take
using my senses triggered
from being scared and defensive
i strike at will
and take flight until I am far away
an what I feared is at bay
they thought I was friendly
but to there dismay
i am no illusive colubrid
but an elapid with eggs to lay
so now the silly herpers
in there graves will stay

 

[jeremy_88]

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Give me a calender.

Edit by Jax.
What ? No please !

 

[littlemay]

I once had a snake named snuffles.
A serpent who caused quite a scuffle.
He ate the cat.
And got really fat.
And now he’s in lots of trouble.

 

[SteveNT]

What masked and bannered man
shall rock the Ark
and sail a course to their annointed kingdom come......

Erm, is plagarism allowed?

 

[Stuart]

Who sailed their captain to waters that they troubled
in My font, sinking in the ignorant seas of prejudice

Sorry Steve, unfortunately not

 

[SteveNT]

for those unfamiliar here is Richard Harris's poem that stuck with me from last century

There Are Too Many Saviors on My Cross by Richard Harris

 

[Darlyn]

Elegant, graceful and somewhat sublime.
A head and a tail, but otherwise a line.
A creature whose journey is not well defined.
The hatred of snakes is totally enshrined.
APS members know better than this.
We look upon our reptiles with awe, love and bliss.
