Not at this time, I've got snakes to feed.

[Didymus20X6]

I would like to respond to astound,
but feel so dumbfound.
The words are to arduous,
for this one who is brainless.
I shall bow out to those with talent,
and go feed my vagrant.(I couldn't make vagrans work)

You know what would be a good name for a vagrans? Charlie Chaplain.

A FEW THOUGHTS TO HELP US OVER THE COMING SEASON,

brumation

days grow short with suns lost zest
and land prepares for snowy vest
it's then our friends will take their rest
the garter folk lament
no shining light to chase the gloom
where dark and dismal shadows loom
and silence clouds my reptile room
the garter folk lament
now annual tasks will call my hand
with some jobs vital, others bland
while i wish for spring,to warm the land
the garter folk lament
and as we wait, for summer cheer
our friends imagined,with us here
hoping through the glass,their faces peer
the garter folk lament
while winter crawls, its somnolent tread
our yearning screams,with patience dead
and we hunger for the days ahead
the garter folk lament
then at the height of our doleful leaning
our friends awake, their vigour streaming
to give back our lives, its point and meaning
the garter folk lament
such joy to hear the birds in song
our snakes returned so fit and strong
our lives to share all summer long
NO MORE GARTER FOLK LAMENT

[PINJOHN]

hey steve here,s one inspired by your many observations of your rascally radix .
see if you recognise any garter traits.



i can see my keeper coming
for the moment i,ll stay hid
i,ll wait till he,s distracted
then make my, escape bid
then its out in to the big, wide world
there,s such a lot see
there,s woods and ponds and hills and plains
just waiting there for me
and, when i gain my freedom
there,s nothing i will lack
for i will lead, a gypsy's life
you can bet i wont, look back
WAIT, what's my keeper brought us
in that bright red, feeding dish
it smells to me like pinky parts
with worms, and bits of fish
OH dam my lack of willpower
when i get that gorgeous reek
i shall put my plans on hold for now
and i,ll run away next week

[guidofatherof5]

Yes, that sounds like many of my radixes.
Escapees usually come out at feeding time and come over right to me.
No willpower at all.

[Stefan-A]

Our friend Pinjohn has penned some rhymes
His talent is unbeatable
He has offered if we have the time
To contribute something comparable
Snakes are what it’s all about
Their lives, their care, their colorings
We love them all, there is no doubt
Regardless of their origins
The big, the small, said our friend Steve,
Radix, Sirtalis and Dekayi , if you please…
I’ll house them all for I have room
Cause you see, T. Radix Ranch has had a boom
We have expanded, near and far
We’ve even opened up our neighbor’s car!
My ladies, they are quite fair
They’ve caught all my males within their lairs
Pinkies, fish and worms abound
We’ve got the greatest buffet in town!
Should a snake in need come to my home
Just remember, he’s not alone!
