I Don'T Care For Snakes

I don't care for snakes
They hiss and bluff me
I'm not really sure
Is he friend or foe

Cats, I really take
Though cats don't give she
any return purr
 any loves warm glow

Steps away not fake, 
soft as cotton he
claws like prickled burrs
begins tapping slow

Around pretty lake
Strolling light as bee
Among fair flowers
Light dainty halo

Set atop him, make
head held high as thee
proud hero allures
and females follow 

Prancing gay fine rake
along path, high knee
dance he follows pure
His own tune mellow

I don't care for snakes
They hiss and bluff me
I'm not really sure
Is he friend or foe

Login to Reply Doris Culverhouse Date: 6/29/2021 5:23:00 AM I had an encounter with a snake close to my back door and made me think of this poem. I have a big dog, Pipi, a great pyrinese she was standing on top of the snake and did not know it. I am glad it was not poisonous. 8-]
