A Pig's tail.

Menacing Dusk

I slept yesterday night,
looking forward to dawn.
And before I knew it,
dusk won the fight.

Blue Kaa

Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me.
You can sleep safe and sound
Knowing I am around.
(from "The Python's Song" of the Jungle Book)

Maybe some in between.
