Sneaky Snake
By Robru
12 April 2008

 For several days I met a snake at the same gate, he always went his way, and I went mine.




     Sneaky snake waits by the gate
     Hoping I'm not late.
     He doesn't want to bite me
     He just wants to fright me;
     Sneaky little snake.

Your snake sounds almost cute, there to greet you each day, and to make sure you say hello to him, too. Another lovely look into your outback life. But I hope he is not the poisonous variety though??? (I had snake emergency lesson in a zoo some time ago.)

Lovely little poem Bob. Children would love this I think.

Ha, the snake, although intended to be just that I assume, could be a metaphor for a person! I'm sure everyone's met a few sneaky little snakes in their time. Nice poem, liked this very much

To all three above I have to say that the said snake was a very poisonous Death Adder, not the human variety at all. I did my version of the highland fling the first time I met him, but we egreed on the sharing of the space between the post and the gate after that. 
Cheers, Bob.
