Ode to Snakes

Ode to snakes!
Snakes oh snakes I love your many colors red black yellow and green
‘Red touching black, safe for Jack. Red touching yellow, kill a fellow’
Your hiss and your slither how I love you snakes
Even though other people are afraid, I am not of you wonderful snakes
In the trees or on the ground either way as long as you are around
You are perfect no matter what I will always be with you wonderful snakes
If other people hate you I will love you wonderful snakes

And don’t go anywhere for goodness sakes you beautiful wonderful snakes!
