In rivers as upon your plate,



I hum a tune while you wait,



A snakes tong licks the devils tail,



Four times each thrust I will impale.



What am I?

          You are a




          fork.




          In rivers as upon your plate,




          It's cutlery and what happens when a river splits.




          I hum a tune while you wait,




          A tuning fork is what you sit still for a moment to listen to while tuning.




          A snakes tong licks the devils tail,




          Both snake tongues and imaginary devil tails(?) are forked at the end. (Googling devil pictures, I am less sure about the second part. But they're all imaginary anyway, so why not!)




          Four times each thrust I will impale.




          Many (eating and garden) forks have 4 tines. The pitchfork may lend itself to garden work during this season, depending on one's location, which would explain the title as well.
