Dear Sara The rhyming angels had him rushing round inside my head, so at the chilly 4am i let it flow on the computer and said..another verse came while i was there, better out than rattling in my head's hair. Dr Ram was probably right:) good on ya... Don

This is interesting work that leaves me wondering is this a real snake or is it a metaphor for something else..Thanks for the kind review of my work..I am sorry that it is excess rain in your area..I hope that you don't live in a flood plain..Your presence at my work was uplifting..Sara

That is one scary experience. Glad it will be your dinner, not you be its dinner. You must be living in wild country? Caroline.
