Rattlesnails
Rak-a-tak-a-tak-a
A slowww, dry, kind of sound
Something unhurriedly clicking
Low down on the ground
A steady, deliberate noise
Like a clock, with rusty gears
Chik-a-chik-a-chik-a
Find the source, follow your ears
Discover a creature distinguished
By the leisurely shaking of its tail
I’d like to (slowly) introduce
The humble Rattle Snail
