Professor Snape

The headmaster of house Slytherin
has a face that sets flowers to whitherin'
in Hogwarts, where he teaches,
with bat's wings and leeches,
the arts of brewing potions
to those who have the notions
of being wizards and witches,
and chasing little gold snitches
on the Quidditch Game field,
they first have to yield
to the teacher in black,
and they'd dare not be slack
about the homework he assigns
or detention they will find
is no easy fine,
if they step out of line,
so, beware the man in the black cape.
Don't mess around with Professor Snape.

    eyes light up I READ THIS BEFORE!!! as soon as I read the first two lines, I remembered it. I'd seen this poem in a different HP contest a while back, and for whatever reason it just stuck with me because it was so fuckin hilarious. I dont remember whether or not I'd left a comment before, but it doesn't matter because I'm leaving one now.
    awesome job and thanks for entering my contest.

    MORSMORDRE!

    I am ashamed to say, perhaps, but I always had a sick affection towards Professor Snape. I'm even more ashamed of it now after having seen how book 6 turned out!
    I like this poem, it was pleasnt and flowy and you did not portray Snape as a horrible person (which is more than he deserves perhaps!!) Nicely done!

    Great!

    I love it! Wow, the rhyming flowed well through out the whole poem, and it seemed like you wrote the words without having to think about it at all! This was a great write, and keep up the awsome work!

    Oh wow, this is crazily cool! An wonderful outward character sketch even the real Snape would be proud to show off. Especially, I love your rhyming. It's pathetic how most people try hard to end sentences or at least clauses at the end of each rhyme. This one was far too unique, and attention-grabbing to that.
    All the best for the contest and have fun!

    Cheers,
    Mandy

    This was pretty good. Your rhyming was done well, but I feel if you were to break it up into stanzas it would be easier to read. As I was reading it, I couldn’t help but think this would make a great limerick style poem. Right when I thought there would be some other ending of the line, you took my mind for a ride elsewhere.

    I would have to admit that you captured Professor Snape’s bare essence well with this.
