Walk home,
Trot home
No moonlight around the sky
Laces come loose
Balance you lose
lean on the rock wall to tie
Hold up the flashlight
Hold up your head
See there’s a snake leaning on your thumb
Shriek, scare the creature
Dads laugh, beware the creature
But now snakes make your heart thrum
Trot home
No moonlight around the sky
Laces come loose
Balance you lose
lean on the rock wall to tie
Hold up the flashlight
Hold up your head
See there’s a snake leaning on your thumb
Shriek, scare the creature
Dads laugh, beware the creature
But now snakes make your heart thrum
Written about the first time I ever met a snake in an unexpected situation, before I befriended them. I was walking back from my aunts camper when I leaned on the wall to tie my shoe, after I felt something I put my small flashlight on it to see a garter snake. The handsome fella was leaning on my thumb, but I was startled, heart POUNDING. Nowadays Herpetology (The study of reptiles and amphibians) is a huge passion of mine - Lee
