'sidewinder' In the Garage

There’s a ‘Sidewinder’ in the old garage
At least that is what my brother yelled

Running through the bamboo canes playing 
‘Tag, I got you and you’re it’!

Well I almost got tagged... 

Now I’m too little to know what a ‘Sidewinder’ is, 
but one thing I do know, even as young as I am, 
I don’t like snakes!

So I am still running, 
breaking through these tall, thick canes...
Like I am ‘super girl’
 
and that ‘Sidewinder’ is ‘super snake’, 
even though he is now left far behind!

I didn’t get ‘tagged’
And I am not it!
