Snake In the Wedding Dress Store

The large black rat snake established residence inside.
When we try to scoop it up she is keen enough to hide.
She slithers and swishes in a kind of frantic frenzied glide.
I hope she does not appear and scare our newest bride.

This is a wedding dress store, full of tulle and pearls from the tide.
We do not want to advertise that we have a resident snake inside.
It might frighten away our customers, and grandmas of the bride.
I hope that if we cannot catch it, the snake will continue to hide.

I know that most snakes are harmless but, I still don't like any of them.
