talk

In the garden, a 4 foot rat snake...

                   #119

             So Long Snake

Simon met the Rat Snake

On the path of grass and stone;

Astonished, he let loose a bark

That rattled wood and bone.

 

The snake continued gliding

O'er the rough-hewn garden walk,

While Simon kept on barking,

Not interested in talk.

 

When Simon closed upon him,

The snake reared up his head;

Simon suddenly remembered

He hadn't made his bed:

 

He suddenly remembered

He hadn't made his bed.

          So Long Simon!
