Misguided Passion

(Mr. Snake falls in love with a garden hose) I came out of hiding to explore territory I'd never seen before. I slithered up and over the hill; everything was quiet and still. I spotted you lying there, coiled so perfect, skin so fair. "Head over heels" at first sight. Hold on baby, I'll be back tonight. Just as I would have turned to go your body moved, began to grow and before my unbelieving eyes, sputtering and spitting, began to rise. A human appeared, held you fast; moved you around, watering the grass. I scurried away in rapid flight, certain our love couldn’t be right.
