Good Question! Poem by Ima Ryma

Baby snake did ask Mama snake
Were they of the poisonous kind?
Mama said yes, for safety sake,
For any dangers they might find,
Like if an animal came near,
And seemed to be troublesome, so
A bite would seem to then be clear,
So off the animal would go.
Baby snake seemed quite nervous still,
So Mama snake asked Baby snake why?
This worry, Baby's mind did fill,
And Baby snake did thus reply,

"I'm high upon my worry scale."
"I just bit myself on my tail! "
