I am green snake, how do you see me

I am green snake, how do you see me?

A spike of green in the tall grass cover, 

through a hole in your fence, I sneak in,

my long rattling tail in your garden,

A shovel through the head, a bite on your ankle,

I am green snake, how do you see me?

I am green snake, when do you hear me?

My rattle in your garden spooking your dog,

The bushes shake in the night, filling you with dread,

My fang sinking into your arm,

I am green snake, when do you hear me? 

I am green snake, where do you find me?

In the tall grass, I am waiting for my prey, 

my tail rattling as I sneak up on my enemies,

the wind whispering in the trees,

I am green snake, where do you find me?
