The Snake Charmer
In the Bayou Country
Life is lush
Luxurious
Snowy Egrets
Blue herons
Pelicans
Alligators
Snakes
Nutrias
And as many small creatures
As there stars in the sky
Bears and tigers
Oh my
The air is close
Hot and sticky
Be careful where
You step
A snake in the grass
Bears and tigers
Oh my
On moon lite nights
You may hear a melodic sound
Familiar
Though you have never heard it before
In his pirogue
A boy playes his flute
Charms the snakes
Bears and tigers
Oh my
Note: I took “Bears and tigers, Oh my” from the Wizard of Oz.
