Who is Muriel L Sonne?

She is the author of only one thing as far as I can find. It is a short poem.

Garden Snake

by Muriel L. Sonne

I saw a snake and ran away...

Some snakes are dangerous, they say;

But mother says that kind is good,

And eats up insects for his food.

So when he wiggles in the grass

I'll stand aside and watch him pass,

And tell myself, "There's no mistake,

It's just a harmless garden snake."

MORAL: Don't hurt animals just because they frighten you. Many of them are not dangerous.

Hope this helps.
