A schuttelreim
She watched as the vet worked, wicked, clever asp
She'd be the very last critter that he'd ever clasp

Um… snakes? They’re God’s creatures as well, I know but… I’m not a fan. And that poor poor vet. Gosh….
Thanks for sharing.
The poem took me there, Selma – I’m not particularly a fan of snakes either 😉

I understand. Poems are finicky things that take you exploring where fear and pleasure meet.
It’s a lovely color, that snake. But… right?!
Thanks for sharing David. Blessings.
🥰 Selma 🥰
Works as a description for a few people too…(k)
True, of course, but it was not my intention to suggest that 🙂
Oh David, your picture really scared me. My only phobia are snakes.
Sorry, Filipa! The rhyme just popped into my mind randomly, and it’s hard to come up with good spoonerisms!

No worries David! 😉 But I was struck while drinking my cup of tea. 🤣🤣🤣
🙈 Filipa 🙈
😘😘😘
Yikes! 😱 That is a special calling. I do my best to avoid snakes where I live. 🐍
me too, Michele!
with this particular style of poem, I have to think of the final words of the two lines before I figure out what comes before them… and for some reason, ‘ever clasp’ and ‘clever asp’ popped into my mind!

How fun! Those are two interesting phrases. You put them to good use. 😄 Your creative poet’s mind! 💚🐍
😊
The beautiful, seductive serpent gets away with everything.
Very cute, David.
😻
😘 Thanks, Dolly 😘
You are very welcome, David.

Ha!

Oh dear, and I was drawn to it by its beauty!
that’s how it gets you! 😉
Yikes! I would hate to be that vet.

It can be a hazardous profession! 😅
