Sammy watches the parade

As Sammy dozed on a warm tree limb,
He felt some eyes look up at him.
And so he quickly turned around,
Then calmly slithered to the ground.

Hid in a bush and heard loud noise,
The sounds of cheering girls and boys.
He saw the crowd that lined the street,
Crawled up front through human feet.
Oh what a sight, it made him sigh.
A great parade was passing by,
The drums went, boom, the cymbals, clang,
A rocket shot off with a bang.

Sammy Snake thought, "This is grand,
Fireworks and a marching band.
I think this is some holiday.
I'll ask mom, "What will she say?"
