What Snakes Really Do
When I visit the zoo
and look through the glass,
I imagine the snakes
alert in the grass,
they silently coil
and wait on their prey;
they sit without moving
most of the day,
but just when you think
they’ve fallen asleep,
they’ll spring from their perch
and make a quick leap,
they’ll snatch up their prey,
and swallow it whole,
then slither away
to hide in their hole,
I like to imagine
what snakes really do;
It’s not all that scary
‘cause they’re in the zoo.
