Sally snake seethed silently She’d bitten her tongue and it hurt Sally slowly sidled in the sand dunes - Unable to speak but alert The venom it spread through her body She hissed and cursed in her head No antidote for the poison within her Now alas poor Sally snake lies dead 30th June 2016

I love the subject matter. As you are well aware, if not for snakes we would be over run with rodents and insects. I love your sense of humor, Jan.
