slither dearer near the wilted weeds
play the part of rattled kin and make me faint of heart
the spring fresh born has blown the horn
asked you to change your fine display
a coat well worn now will be thrown away
no rattles play a tune as i welcomed you this morn
lay lovely long and languid in the sun
and frighten the real rattlesnakes at play

I wonder if rattlesnakes know that people are universally afraid of them? And if they do, I also wonder if they consider themselves the badasses of the Southern California snake community?
