You turned out to bejust an ordinary snake,despite your colossal length& preenful styling.You took care of any ratswho had the nerve to come calling,never brought brothers aroundexpecting me to entertain them.Once I figured outyou had no plans to poison me,I rather liked having you around.

Did this one have an Apple?
ReplyDeleteNothing like a snake as a pal... :)
ReplyDeleteLove this, especially:
ReplyDelete"never brought brothers around
expecting me to entertain them."
Loved the part about brothers expecting you to entertain them.
ReplyDeletegreat voice in this
ReplyDeleteOnce I figured out
ReplyDeleteyou had no plans to poison me,
I rather liked having you around.
Best line for a greeting card EVER! Well played my dear...you make me want to write better poems. This one shines. Oh and happy to see the comment feature back on.....:)
Ah, the sinuous serpent, a horror of many but also quite useful. Why do I feel that this snake may have two legs and perhaps even some facial hair? Loved it, Marian.
ReplyDeleteCool. Got to approach these cautiously, but then let them be the steward of it all.
ReplyDeleteI also like the same part that Izzy mentions...I'd LOVE to see that on a greeting card! lol! I enjoyed this, Marian!
ReplyDeleteGood job ... I actually found that I could not do this. I have nothing kind or loving or positive to say about hornets and wasps.
ReplyDeleteCool approach Marian ~ Happy Halloween ~
ReplyDeletethanksssssssssssssssss friendssssssssssssssssssss
ReplyDeleteJust hope you manage to avoid the basilisk stare!
ReplyDeleteack! my daughter has a Medusa costume. :)
DeleteSerpents and snakes, no matter the form they take, even if non-poisonous, best be wary! Their bite can still sting!! Unless one has the "charm" to sooth such savage beast! Well captured!
ReplyDeleteBabyluv...that was awesome. Keep your friends close, but your reptilian friends closer. A cage might be nice....lol.
ReplyDeletefree range snakes!
DeleteI like my snake too!
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
