YES, I ACCEPT THE DARE

I was motionless,
stuck in my tracks
for a moment.
As he held it in
one hand and then
switched to the
other hand.
He shook it at
me..it was long
and lean but no
doubt with a great
capacity. The holder
said, "I dare you to
touch it, to hold it."
I accepted the dare and
the snake handler
took the king snake from
his hand and handed it to me.
