Consorting With A Snake

You turned out to be

just an ordinary snake,

despite your colossal length

& preenful styling.

You took care of any rats

who had the nerve to come calling,

never brought brothers around

expecting me to entertain them.

Once I figured out

you had no plans to poison me,

I rather liked having you around.
