Grga Pitic: "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Nambawan!

There is a python ten feet long,
As quiet as a mouse,
A muscle flexible and strong
That hangs around my house,

Feeding – on what? I never ask:
Maybe the neighbours’ cats
Or, with them gone, he has the task
Of getting rid of rats.

But in this country pythons never,
I have been told, eat blokes
Or, if one tried, however clever,
He fails at last and chokes,

So if some day you see me in
A coloured leather coat,
Help me! It is a python’s skin
And I’m stuck in his throat.
