Description

The Viper is a sickening snake,

He comes when you are not awake.

During the day-time he's all right,

But then he always comes by night.

He's quite innocuous by day,

But that's the time he keeps away.

He has a very stealthy creep,

He comes when you are fast asleep.

Say what you will, do what you like,

He's ultimately sure to strike.

His perseverance is immense,

The pain he causes is intense.
