Snakes Get a Bad Rap ( a poetic pun)

Snakes always seem to get a bad rap
especially when one winds up sitting on your lap
all snakey and slimy and icky and cold
all slither ga-dee or so I am told

From the garden of Eden to the shores of Peru
our friend ol' snakey received more than his due
with no arms and no legs how can that be
just put ol' snakey on your lap and then we will see

You'll hold him and love and just pet him with glee
and ol' snakey will smile and look back lovingly
then the moment will come as he sits in your lap
when ol' snakeys rep with come back with a clap

God took his arms and God took his legs
and God made him cold and born from an egg
So low to the ground he must struggle to move
I hear they even got snakes in Paris at the Louvre

Ol' snakey be sneaky I know this is true
Ol' snakey be friendly when he crawls up to you
Ol' snakey be lying when he crawls in your lap
Ol' snakey be nasty and bites with a zap
Ol' snakey deserves better than my terrible rap


PEACE !!!!
