Day of Deadly Desert Denizons

If you walk in the bush not wearing real shoes,

your dignity you will most certainly lose.

Your feet will quite soon get covered in ants,

and you will be forced to put on a nice dance.

So you set out on a bit of a hike

Cool and blue sky, what's not to like?

Then suddenly there in the grass by your side,

a deadly brown snake is trying to hide.

Less than a meter, you stare face to face.

You spring quickly back to give it some space.

It calmly and boldly slithers away,

while you are just lucky to live through the day.

Defeated and beaten you return to the car.

That four hour hike didn't get very far.

There's nothing else here that you want to see,

but before you can leave, you must take a quick wee.

So off to the loo you quickly repair

Surely there's nothing hiding in there.

But right in the corner, near the commode,

a deadly Redback has built his abode!
