Snake at the PO

William Blake, Eve Tempted by the Serpent, 1799-1800

Yesterday a snake got into the post office. Alas, he received no mail.

He was no anaconda, Still, he upset Nelda, the Post Mistress, and would have caused problems for anyone trying to get to the mailboxes as he was fond of striking out at anything that ventured into the PO. I was called in to dispatch him. Nelda pinned him with broom and I sent him home to Eden with an even bigger broom.
