What The Rattlesnake Said

________________________________________________
Title:     What The Rattlesnake Said
Author: Vachel Lindsay [More Titles by Lindsay]

The moon's a little prairie-dog.
He shivers through the night.
He sits upon his hill and cries
For fear that _I_ will bite.

The sun's a broncho. He's afraid
Like every other thing,
And trembles, morning, noon and night,
Lest _I_ should spring, and sting.






[The end]
