My Pet Snake Escaped!
Dog's in the stairwell;
Cat's in a box;
Snake's crawling somewhere;
I'm throwing rocks.
Mom's yelling, "Get inside;"
Dad's looking mad;
Snake's crawling somewhere;
I think they think that's bad.
Brother's grunting, "Yucky!"
Sister's screaming, "Eek!"
Snake's crawling somewhere
And has been for a week.
Crawling on my stomach;
Searching everywhere;
Snake's crawling...Uh Oh!
Up my mother's chair.
Oops! Mother's fast asleep.
Silence! Shhh! Hush!
Snake's sleeping on her lap.
Shush! Shush! Shush!
