Do Not Touch Me!
The King Snake said to the Rattlesnake:
Do not touch me!
You can do nothing to me
Lying with your belly full,
Rattlesnake of the rock pile,
Do not touch me!
There is nothing you can do,
You rattlesnake with your belly full,
Lying where the ground-squirrel holes are thick.
Do not touch me!
Rattlesnake in the tree clump,
Stretched in the shade,
You can do nothing;
Do not touch me!
Rattlesnake of the plains,
You whose white eye
The sun shines on,
Do not touch me! (Yokuts)
according to Yokuts lore, Kingsnake repeated that song to gain immunity from Rattlesnakes venom. I wasn't willing to try it.
