My head is pounding and after I post this I’m headed to bed. My son is
discussing snakes with my husband and how I don’t like them. So, I rattled this
off. My son is fun to listen to. He just asked if there are any snakes that are
not poisonous that might constrict their prey. He doesn’t understand why I’m
not fascinated by them like he is. In fact, I really don't like snakes at all.
Snake Diatribe
Snakes
are not something I think about
And
they probably don’t think about me either
I
am as an oddity to them as they are to me
I
think they look slimy
But, I’ve been told they are not
To
them I might look tasty
But
I doubt I would be
So
maybe, I should learn more
About
that I don’t think of
Because
what I see
And
what is
Doesn’t
match
Perhaps, I could
Learn
the truth
Of
what is
So
that I won’t assume
That
I don’t like snakes
I’ve
said I’d never own one as a pet
Or
pet one if it was near
The
thought makes me quiver
But
I’ve friends that own them
And
laud them
Telling
me that they are wonderful
Maybe,
I should listen to what
You
are saying about snakes
And
I’ll understand more
About
who you are
The
snake lover in my life
