Do not be frightened of the snake
Though it is easy to mistake
This lovely creature for a villain
And run away or try to kill him

He really is quite shy you know
And hides away until you go
He’ll slither very quickly past
Hissing softly in the grass

Don’t hunt him for his lovely skin
And make a handbag out of him
He’s one of Gods’small creatures too
He has a right to be,like you
The snake has beauty,colour and grace
And in this world he has his place
