Snakes Alive near Namur!

The things you hear on local news!
About this item, don't enthuse.
Watch where you walk in Walloon grass
Two lethal rattlesnakes got past

Their enclosure, a deep pit
And slithered near rail tracks a bit
Skulking in tall grass and weeds
How long before this creature breeds?

They're poisonous so have a care!
Fear stalks the routes around Namur ...
Both found (thank God!) by sharp police;
Who had ordered their release?

From Ireland, Patrick chased them out
This early Christian saint had clout
Endeavouring to save each soul
But can he deal with pest control?
