Rat Snakes
Snakes are agile, swift and small,
Yet they cannot walk at all;
Gravity keeps them on the ground,
Except of course where trees abound.

Terror in the Tree
A rat snake high in a sugar maple tree
Winding up a branch is a sight to see,
With robins and wrens hopping limb to limb
Above and below and close to him.
Brave little birds, living on the edge,
Brave long snake so high above the hedge.
