Another One

The worthless Ones, particularly Piggy, have a special bark for things out of the ordinary. It can be anything from a garbage can left in the street to creepy crawlies on the floor whilst watching the tely, so when I heard this bark I set out to check and see what might be the cause.
It came from the spare room, and I checked and found nothing and went back to doing whatever I was doing .
But the bark persisted, so I returned and checked more thoroughly and there, under the bed, on some rolled up carpets , was the cause.
A snake.
I went to get my trusty cleaver and a broom, but by the time I got my snake killing equipment together, the snake had hidden in one of the rolled up carpets.
Now, doing nothing was not an option. I would never be able to sleep again, knowing that a snake was hiding under the bed, even if it was in another room.
So I dragged the rolled-up carpets out on the deck and unfurled them over the fence that faces the jungle and watched as with a thump and a mighty squiggle the snake fell out of one the carpets and landed in the undergrowth.
Out of the house.
And it was a sizable one, this snake. Compared to the one I killed the other night, this was easily twice the length and twice the girth. Big one.
All this snakery makes you check twice before you sit down on the couch and be sure the lights are on before the in-the-middle-of-the- night trip to the loo for a pee.
I hope it is temporary.
