The Black Snake

...................................


Black snake! Black snake!

Curling on the ground,

rolled like a rubber tire,

Ribbed and round.

Black snake! Black snake!

Looped in a tree,

Limp as a licorice whip

Flung free.

Black snake! Black snake!

Curving down the lawn,

Glides like a wave

With its silver gone.

Black snake! Black snake!

Come and live with me!

I'll feed you and I'll pet you
