Snakes Through My Belly
When I bend and the battle-sting
Snakes through my belly,
I am primed to drive off the death-stroke.
When my lord and tormentor releases my limbs, I am long again.
As laced with slaughter, I spit out
The death-blend I swallowed before.
What whistles from my belly does not easily pass,
And the man who seizes this sudden cup
Pays with his life for the long, last drink.
Unwound I will not obey any man;
Bound tight, I serve. Say what I am.

had to read it a few times..was thinking sling shot good job !!!
The hint pretty much gave it away, although I had my suspicions before...
This is on at least two other websites that I know of. It's also very, very old.
...ugh...
The body was confusing... the first half of the hint gave the whole thing away though. Good teaser!
