Snake Charmers In Villages. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Snake Charmers In Villages.



Decade ago there were snake charmers
Wandering in villages with snakes
Of cobras with mighty hoods they showed
With anxiety and fear children behind.

The instrument that made the noises
The supposed dance by the hood, cobra made
Our knowledge limited, cobra was deaf
Moved in the movements of the instrument
Still a wonderful show always we saw.

The small coins gave from the homes
Their livelihood always with respects
The nomadic snake charmers always expected
In rare cases with a monkey to play.

Snake charmers are nearly in extinct
Laws are strict and animal rights issues
Still the memory of snake charmers in mind.
