Gazing out the living room window
A small snake emerged from a hole
He was winding to and fro
I went outside to investigate
I saved a tiny frog from becoming dinner

Come on, don’t be afraid of a cute, tiny frog. They’re darling little things–look at its cute little eyes. These tiny ones are a little sticky though! Hehe… just being silly.
Thank you for liking my work and being a wonderful support, Jaye–I really appreciate you.
Peace,

/ May 9, 2011Saw a snake eating a frog once. It wasn’t a happy sight and the frog literally screamed. Thanks for playing along with the Sunday 160.

You are noble too–saving your beloved pigeons from harm.
