Notes About The Poem

I have been known to fight for a snake's life with Shark, my too-well-fed cat.

Snake Pops Up

Snake pops up out of dead leaf pile.
Grandchildren scream.
Grandma picks up snake, a garter, not a python.
Puts snake on her lap, begins singing a "snakey song".
Everyone's in line, wanting the next turn.
All fear gone.

Line, if I had a dull moment it was because God took me out and flattened me, which has to happen.
