Fantastic Beasts 6 – Basilisk – Poem by the Pesky Poet


Never before have I seen such a beast,
So long and slender yet full of meat,
The last thing I'll see,
If I look in it's eyes,
But who would say,
Their not mesmerised,
***
What a beast,
So big and strong,
Scaring even those,
Feared for long,
Two or eight legs,
It will treat you the same,
So don't get to close,
To the fanged end.
