In boat that he took to the lake
Was where he'd be to catch some fish
And hopefully that night he'd make
A walleye that would be delish
As he was putting on his coat
In boat that he took to the lake
He was getting ready to float
But looked down and he saw a snake
That is when he started to shake
When he first saw him on the floor
In boat that he took to the lake
Inside of it were many more
So fast out of the boat he'd get
He wished he had a hoe or rake
Where those snakes stayed all night, I bet
In boat that he took to the lake

Author Notes
My husband hates snakes. I grew up catching snakes with my brothers, so I have no fear of MN snakes. So when he got home from his fishing trip I picked them up and threw them off into the grass. He just shook his head and laughed.
Please forgive my ungrammatical line of on boat that he took to the lake, as it was easier to deal with it on that line than to correct all my other lines that did not go well with the boat that he took to the lake. And throwing it off meter was not an option.
Thanks to Helen for teaching me the quatern, consisting of four, four line stanzas. The first line gets moved down a line and repeated each stanza.
