                                  green wild unkempt grass
                                   covers the garden patch
                                 I sat on the wooden bench
                                hard and morose my thoughts.
                                 
                                  A cold feeling stirred me
                                on a hot May summer 'noon.
                                        I  lifted my feet
                             ghastly, brown reptile slithered
                            
                            curving its long lithe body,
                         raising its hood , forking its tongue,
                                   My backbone erect,
                              I watched it with interest.
                         
                         watered grass caressed its body 
                         the Cobra , satisfied , withdrew
                                into its burrow , small.
                                   My muscles froze

                            The venomous cruel Cobra's
                                  sting could silence 
                              my daughter's laughter.
                               Live and let live, Nay.

                             flashed in my inward eye.
                             I crushed the burrow door
                                 with a stone , large.
                        Me retreated indoor with a smile.
