Artful Curler

Aruba island rattlesnake,
I like to curl myself so that
Quite an artful sight I do make,
All cozy in my habitat.
A three foot body covered in
Scales of lustrous silver and gold
From rattled tail to tip of chin,
I am a beauty to behold.
I find a spot where I can be
Assured of soaking in the heat.
Oft in the sand you will find me
Curled so all of my ends do meet.

I am always waiting for you
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
