The Snake in the Garden

Yikes, there's a little brown snake in my garden
leisurely lounging on a rock.
When my eyes first saw it,
it gave me quite a shock.

I tried to make it go away
but it simply looked me in the eye.
"Go away little snake!"
I heard myself cry!

I began to pull some weeds
that were ever so near
to where that snake lay
my fingers trembled in fear!

The snake finally took the hint
and it slithered away.
It wasn't going to let some human
ruin its glorious day.
