I am a snake, no one loves me!
They run in terror when we meet.
Or find a pole or stone to try to kill me.
Yet poison I do not carry, it’s friends I’d like to meet.
I want to be loved, stroked and passed around as a friend.
Or left to sleep through cold nights and days.
Will you take the time to get to know me?
Examine me from a distance and note the marking on my skin.
Take your time and find the friend within.
I am a safe snake, except when I am hungry.
