Skin graft, clotting, venom, and shock,
These are things that give us a shock.
But don't you worry, dear little one,
With a little heed, we'll soon be done.

If a snake bites you with its venom,
You might feel dizzy and become numben.
But antivenin is the magic cure,
It will make you feel better for sure.

If you get hurt and have a bruise,
And if you feel unconscious and lose,
It's important to rule out any harm,
And get some help to stay calm.

Sometimes a skin graft might be needed,
To fix a wound that's left untreated.
And if your body's not clotting right,
Don't worry, it will be alright.

If you see a predator on the prey,
Just keep your distance and stay away.
And if you're ever feeling paralyzed,
Take a deep breath and close your eyes.

Remember the symptoms and signs,
And be aware of the dangers that lie behind.
But with a little caution and care,
You'll stay safe and sound, without a scare.
