A
Snake in the Grass
Little Zayn
was playing near the lake
there he saw
a little snake
The snake was crawling in the grass
he thought
he would let it pass
To his surprise the snake began to cry
but the snake's eyes
were totally dry
Little Zayn was kind of heart
and he listened to his kind heart
Helping a snake would be real fun
and this snake
wasn’t troublesome
“What’s wrong? Why do you cry?
Let me help
you, let me try”
“Well, for one I am down with flu
a big thorn
is stuck in belly like glue
My stomach remains usually upset
but I
am one who would never fret
Yes, I haven’t eaten for many days
and one tooth is paining for two days
And I have some wishes unfulfilled
if you only hear I would be thrilled
I have a desire to travel a lot
places I would go I haven't thought.
And I wish I could fly like a bird
some snakes
fly I have heard.
I have no place to sleep at night
I love boating when moon is bright”
Lttle Zayn said, "Stop that's enough
I see being
a snake is real tough.
Well, at present I just have a little frog
it was
sitting over there on a log.
I don't want it you can take it
and for the
rest let me think it”
Snake looked and cried loudly,
“It was a
trap I can say proudly
I left a frog for someone to catch
it is a trick
no one can match.
I wanted to catch something big
you fell for the trap like a silly pig.
I haven’t eaten for many days
now I know how patience pays”
Little Zayn knew he was in trouble
it was wise
to run on double
Talking to a snake was no real fun
and he ran
like he had never run.
