THE SILENT SNAKE, by                    
First Line: The birds go fluttering in the air
Last Line: The silent snakes goes creepy-creep!
Subject(s): Animals;snakes; Serpents;vipers


The birds go fluttering in the air,
The rabbits run and skip,
Brown squirrels race along the bough,
The May-flies rise and dip;
But, whilst these creatures play and leap,
The silent snake goes creepy-creep!
The birdies sing and whistle loud,
The busy insects hum,
The squirrels chat, the frogs say "croak!"
But the snake is always dumb.
With not a sound through grasses deep
The silent snakes goes creepy-creep!
