The Change in Snape

Severus Snape

And his cape

Were walking through the grounds

Catching students

Out of bed

And turning them around

Sending them

Back to their rooms

Points removed for every sound

The morning after

At breakfast time

He noticed they were missing

And left the hall

In search of students

In the hallways kissing

However he didn't

Think he'd find

Riddle's basilisk was hissing

He tried to avoid

Its murdering glare

But found it just too luring

His body lay

On the ground

Petrified and obscuring

The way to reach

His classroom door

Madame Pomfrey had to do more curing

Now Severus Snape

No longer searches

For students out of bed

He learnt his lesson

By nearly dying

And was scarred permanently on his head

He became much nicer

And a less dominating man

For pain was thing he would dread
