DMC: "Cock-a-doodle-HISS" by Bridget Magee




"I slither and slide
and take immense pride
in being a most helpful snake."
But Snake's forked tongue kiss
and Cock-a-doodle-HISS
did not help Farmer McPeeper wake.

  1. Egads! I'm not sure I like the sound of a fork-tongued wake-up kiss! Perhaps it was best Farmer McPeeper slept through the experience. Thanks so much, Bridget, for bringing a taste of the Arizona desert to TLD!
