Snake

I saw a snake slither in my yard
So I had to try really hard
To stay still
To stay still
To stay still

It has no ears on its head
And felt the ground vibrate instead
And waited until
And waited until
And waited until

There was no movement on the ground
So the snake continued safe and sound
To the hill
To the hill
To the hill
