Mary had a little snake
Her parents worried so
What are we to do with one
Who picks them up for show
No cuddly teddy for this child
But wildlife in her mitts
Where did she come from
They both cried
I think she's lost her wits!

Oh wow great writing love!!! I absolutely enjoyed this!!! I love snakes nature etc. epic
A fine write Lorna, I s-s-s-s-say. Good snake impersonation there, innit?! lol. A potential few moments away from being strangled. Arrggh!
Great snake impression Orchi! But then you've spent so much time in the Garden of Eden!
Boo hoo I ate that 'apple' (or whatever it was that Eve ate first). Then she blamed 'hissing Sid!'
Thank you Lorna.
A wonderful poem.
There's nothing like a bit of character in a child.
Keep writing

Having a 6 year old grandson who also likes snakes I can see where this is coming from - brill write Lorna.-
How cute..... you'll teach him how to draw....... he'll let you hold his snakes........ who gets the best end of this deal!
Lorna,
A great write and pic...but I can’t look at it more than once! Snakes are definitely NOT my thing...some day I’ll tell you you why!

I'm absolutely with you Laura....... that's why I picked this picture which is relatively benign......... you should see some of them! Kids lolling around on the floor (or sofa!) with pythons......... I guess the parents must count the kids at night to see who's missing............ lol........... "Oh no dinner for the snake tonight..... he's already eaten...." A form of late birth control? And your message is a tease - "tell me later" indeed....... I'll wonder about that all day!
Good write Lorna, kids can be fearless.
Yes Andy ... I remember myself! That's because they haven't figured out yet that they can DIE! Come here pretty little snake.............. Best birthday card I ever bought was Death with a Sickle crooking his finger and saying "That's right....... come to Papa"............ cracked me up!
