It is not a poem, it is a song that he wrote in 1962 called "Boa Constrictor" that is sung by a man who is being progressively swallowed whole by a snake.

The poem "Boa Constrictor" by Shel Silverstein uses personification, as it gives human qualities to a snake by describing its actions and thoughts as if it were a person. The poem also uses hyperbole, exaggerating the snake's actions in a humorous way to create a sense of tension and playfulness.
