...the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake... said, 'Rash and inexperienced traveller, we will now seriously devote ourselves to a little high tension, because if we do not, it is my impression that yonder self-propelling man-of-war with the armour-plated upper deck... will permanently vitiate your future career.'

Very well done - almost too well.
Sad to say, but the image of the elephant's battle is very close to a real incident.
