News at Eleven: [Jack Prelutsky] found a TV documentary

on the giant snake from the Amazon, noticed the coincidence of syllables, and inspiration struck. His poem begins:

"Oh sleek bananaconda
You longest long long fellow,
How sinuous and sly you are,
How slippery, how yellow."

from News 1130: Kids poet Prelutsky, author of 'Scranimals,' still humble despite success
