Max and the Snake
~~Max And The Snake~~
Max is scared of spiders
Insects and butterflies too
He doesn’t like kittens or cats
But he likes a rabbit or two.
Max is adorable and he has only just turned three
Blond hair and blue eyes and a face so full of glee
.
He’s not that keen on dogs either, so I did a double take
When his mum sent me a photograph
Of Max, wrapped up in a snake.
He is standing smiling widely
His impish face is set alight
A five foot snake all over him
And he’s laughing with delight.
His mum was not there at this particular time
She would have screamed down the place
If she had known there was this Crime
She thought about complaining and I think she had a case
She said she nearly fainted, to see a snake on Max’s face.
Her friend reassured his mum, no harm would the snake do
He had not long ago eaten, a great big rat or two
It will be a long time before the snake needs to be fed
So Max can play with snakey, the Ex-babysitter said.
Max’s mum looked at her, a bewildered look upon her face
But Max jumped up and kissed his mum, and said, “that would be ace”.
