Summer in Australia

Snake time

In the summer sun

Among the reeds

He hid waiting

A mild we attuned snake

Well mannered waiting for the door to open

For safety sake he waited

Curled up in the shade

All shinny and black

He needed to feel the cool

The summer heat

Hot and dry

Summer in Australia

Beware the snakes are about

Silent and leathery

The creeks are dry

No water about

As the peasant drew near

Opening the door

Quickly without notice

Around the edge of the walls

It slid, quietly and un-noticed

Ah! a simple curl

A quiet cupboard

Sleep for a night

Until the patter of dog feet

Noses smelling something strange

No more snake, it lost it's head

Literally it did loose it's head

The dogs are okay

And so is the owner

The moral

Is don't leave your door open

Summer in Australia

 

Be careful don't approach a snake without protection in Australia

Practice security close your doors immediately

Even in the cool of night This is a true story it did happen last night

Author's Note

In Australia we have some of the venomous snakes in the world and living in the country you need to be careful

It was fun but it did happen, one door was left open and it got in, scary, I am so glad I've moved from there at Greenock, I faced the creek, I stretched bird wire across the fence, a snake gets caught in that and it will curl up and die.
