Crate Snake

Wound round the sound
A serpentine slack
First to the ground
Meteoric smack

Frameworks for villains
The pay is quite good
Made for the shillings
Sophistry stood

Shorten the heart
Of heads on the thrill
Faded false start
Large treads, so still

Freed from the brine
A saltless lake trout
Down in the shrine
The Buddha may shout
