The Snake: A Story in Three Parts.
Part 1: The snake sighed. Another snake enthusiast had come to peer into his aquarium, watching his every move. Was nothing sacred? Was there to be no privacy? Time for slithering, sliding and hiding.
Part 2: Maybe he could get the hapless curator to put up a sign: “Stop Staring at the Snake. It Makes Him Nervous.” The snake knew that this would make SOME people just press their faces closer to the glass, especially with their fancy black boxes with clicking noises.
Part 3. The snake wondered if there was still a Snake Stakeout going on. Really, these people are relentlesssssss, he hissed to himself. “I’ll just poke my head out a tiny bit to see…”. Click. Click.
Sigh…
So, the old aphorism about there being no privacy for snakes in glass houses is true. Never heard that one? It might not be that old. Okay, I just made it up. Sigh…
I’ll probably slither away and hide this blog post in the morning.
