Garden Snake

• I saw a snake and ran away...
• Some snakes are dangerous, they say;
• But mother says that kind is good,
• And eats up insects for his food.
• So when he wiggles in the grass
• I’ll stand aside and watch him pass,
• And tell myself, “There’s no mistake,
• It’s just a harmless garden snake!"

​
