Read together
In a land far away, in a jungle so grand
Lived a python, the biggest in all the land
He slithered and crawled, with grace and with might
And all the animals would tremble in fright
The python was strong, with a power so great
But something was wrong, he had to mate
He had to reproduce, and find a mate
And start a family, before it's too late
But the python was not alone, for there came
An invasive species, that spread like a flame
It took over the land, and the python was scared
For this new enemy, he was not prepared
The invasive species, had a deadly way
Of suffocating prey, in a terrible way
The python knew he had to act, and fast
To find a solution, to this problem so vast
He did some research, and found a way
To use a transmitter, to save the day
He tracked the invasive species down, and found
Their weakness, in the sound
He made a loud noise, that made them flee
And saved the jungle, and the animals free
The python had done it, he saved the day
And he found a mate, to have a family one day.
Talk about it
