I Am Going On a Snake Hunt

I am pointedly going on a snake hunt today.
Most probably going to catch one quickly and keep it in my pretty loo.
Will dress her up for parties, Easter and Halloween too.
I plan to name her Sharky, she will be excited to be mine.
She will become my muse, my sidekick and my slithering sage.
She’ll snake around our Christmas tree delighted, dressed so fine.
I will keep her ‘til we both die of ugliness or old age.

Trixie is on fire this week; it has been 70 degrees and we are outside on the couch on the porch loving it!

Hmm...do snakes get ugly? Maybe she'd like to borrow some cold cream! It's got be easier on those scales the scratchy dirt and grass. Perhaps she'd want to slither up the tree and pose as a little snake-star? Better lend her some blush and eye shadow if she's to perform for the holidays. Enjoyed!!!

I have seen snakes slithering down trees. I had forgotten that until I read this one.
