ESCAPE OF THE SNAKE

ON A RECENT TRIP TO THE POST OFFICE,

I TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO READ THE

NOTICES POSTED ON THE PUBLIC BULLETIN

BOARD IN THE LOBBY.

ONE IN PARTICULAR CAUGHT MY EYE.

IT READ

“LOST IN POST-OFFICE PARKING LOT,

SMALL BOA CONSTRICTOR,

FAMILY PET, WILL NOT ATTACK.

REWARD.”

BELOW THE NOTICE SOMEONE HAD WRITTEN,

IN WHAT APPEARED TO BE VERY SHAKY HANDWRITING:

“PLEASE, WOULD YOU MIND POSTING ANOTHER

NOTICE WHEN YOU FIND YOUR BOA?

THANK YOU.”
