In my experience,

there are two kinds of

peanut brittle you

can buy at the store

***

One comes in a can with

peanut brittle inside.

The other contains snakes.

***

And you never know

which you’ll get.

***

Once I got some peanut brittle

as a gift,

and thinking myself clever,

I gave it to my friend to open first.

***

“Thank you,” she said.

Then she opened it,

and ate a piece.

***

So I was about to take

a piece, too,

when snakes sprang

out of her mouth.
