How to Charm a Snake!

a poem by Nav Chandi

The special sound…
that could charm only a snake.
The melody…
that only a certain few can make.

To understand its movements;
How it thinks, and its style.
To approach it with tact;
Hiding fear behind a smile.

Playing the particular song…
that only a snake would want to hear;
As it slithers towards the music…
The music with intentions so clear.

Coercing this creature…
towards its direction;
The snake with an ulterior motive…
is won over by melodic affection.

This cold-blooded creature…
that is not easily swayed…
manipulated by a tune…
that only a charmer can play.
