Black Snake should be that poem about the dead snake on the road.
From what I remember, I can eliminate some choices.
I remember that Black Snake was not enthusiastic and positive, so I think we could cross out C.

I haven't read Vern. Black Snake is sad. I don't remember Black Snake's rhythm. I am not sure about A being right or wrong. Again, I am working with only one poem to see if I can eliminate as much as possible, so sorry.
