Maladies

“Thith”

Hissed the serpent with a lisp.

“_____”

Shook the snake with no rattle.

“Ribck”

Croaked the toad with a frog in its throat.

And all the witch could do was cackle.

    That ‘s a mean looking snake. Aren’t they all? Well maybe not all but a lot of them.

      Snakes do tend to fill you with dread, Beverly, don’t they? Or perhaps top the dread up, if not filling!

      Thanks, Sue.
      The image is a little rough as I barely had time to cobble it together, but it serves its purpose! 😀

    I do wish you wouldn’t throw that photo of me around so carelessly, Tom. People will wonder where my wings are!
