No snakes here in kiwiland, of course, but we have spent 8 years in Singapore and 12 years in Queensland so have had our share of snake encounters during that time, most notably a five-metre python in our condo carden in Singapore...
Your poem reminds me a little of this one 'A Snake Yarn' - I thought it was Banjo Patterson, but no, a different poet altogether. Funny, though!

Nice story, nicely rhymed.

Don't know about the python. though . I am glad your like the rhyme and I think I remember reading Banjo's poem about the snake I must revisit it Cheers Christine😀

Great rhyme and story, you do have some poisonous snakes and other dangerous creatures in your part of the world. Last year, we had a fairly large snake slide into our house when I opened a door. It was an ordeal, I wrote a poem about it here, we never did find it!

Hi Linds Oh how awful to have a snake slide into your house and worse still not to find it yuk I wouldn't sleep. I must look up your poem. Thanks for reading my poem and I enjoyed writing about it and to see the Echnida was a bonus Cheers Christine😃

Very, very good. I could feel how you felt about snakes. It flowed well and the rhyme was superb. I, too, like rhyming poetry best. Looking forward to reading more.
