I'm alone on the trail.
Up ahead I see him, from head to tail
Shiny and black, I can tell.
He's lying there wondering,
Is this going to go wrong?
This man coming toward me,
Will he leave me alone?
Do I quickly crawl, and start to roam.
Coil to strike, give a quick bite!
Be friendly and greet him,
As a guest in my home?
"May I help you?"
I stand I stare
A talking snake.
So very rare!
