Laugh out loud

Oh no! Ooh no!
Help!!

I spy something...
Could it be a reptile lifting its hood,
waiting for an opportune moment?

 

Oh dear! I've been fooled!

Just a growing leaf,
twisting and turning,
curiously shaped,
surveying the surroundings.

Nature steps in, now and then,
to add a touch of humour
to our stressful lives.
