Bad Poetry for Snakes

Snakes are happy

Snakes are cute

Snakes like to play

A minstrels Lute

They are rather good

At impersonating a deflating tyre

And a well played Islamic flute

Will always

A snake inspire

But they don’t like tap dancing

For reasons I think we all know

And they don’t chew their food

But just swallow it

All in one go

And a snake can be a bit of a charmer

But should not be trusted

As one once ate

The Dalai Lama

(You see snakes do have rather complex religious beliefs)

Some snakes are friendly

Some snakes are not

And I think we all know

Which one of those

That Cleopatra chap got.

But snakes have their uses

If they try

And a well-trained snake

Makes a jolly good tie

(Although I would not advice using a Boa constrictor)

Yes sorry I was in a bit of a rush tonight and the mind is still as blank as can be at present, you know what it’s like you just start thinking you are getting the hang of all this poetry lark and then it all goings wrong. Luckily I drew a picture of a chap annoying a snake (as you do) and thought hang on it must be possible to write a snake poem dead quick. . . . . . . . . . . . OK I may be wrong.
