Hiding beneath a pile of rocks
or cutting “S” curves in the sand
Seeking unsuspecting socks
where his fangs would like to land
He’s a sly one-he’s a killa
in the jungles of Manilla
Or the deserts dry and hot
scaly temper’s what he’s got
Rawest deal right from the start
the just result of being smart
Now because his plan went bust
he slithers wordless in the dust
When found in unsuspecting spot
the end result…he’s usually shot!
Or unceremoniously chopped in half
with a shovel and a laugh
Even his name is thought of now
with degenerate lowest brow
When a person’s on the take
he’s only thought of as a snake!
