Not to smart

I've seen men wrestle other men and get up again to shake the other's hand

Saw a man wrestle a bear, nearly tore off his underwear, whopped him to beat the band

Saw a woman wrestle an alligator, monster damn near ate 'er and she was strong as a tree

But never though that I'd take on such a beast, nature's fury released against humanity

One day looking at the street I saw a rattlesnake , about six feet, crawling across my lawn

So grabbed my rake to pin down that snake, before he would be gone

He started to twist and spin I thought he would get away again, a better way had to be found

When I grabbed him behind his head, I thought it might be me that would be dead, we wrestled all over the ground

Just when things were looking grim I got the best of him, cut his head off clean as  could be

Most men that wrestle these critters are only half witters so what does that make me?

It makes you a sensible human being Soren.... Rattlers are venomous and dangerous... we used to have them when we lived way up on the mountain in N. Carolina...my husband would run them over with a car, or take a heavy spade and hit them over the head...and he is a physician.... no matter what your rank in life...sometimes you gotta do what's right....and right for some may be to run the other way!!!!
Nice!

Don’t mess with nature or the animal kingdom I’m thinking. I would probably have run a mile:) All action here, my view is to live and let live. I wonder whether you would do the same again. A fun piece Soren that raised a smile.
