Talking Snake


 


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!
