Year of the Snakes

by Ross H Bruce   Sep 2, 2010


Watch out world, my abode
It is the year of the snakes
They come in different forms
Some are real, others are worms
There are snakes that bite your lovers
And there are snakes that poison your mind
Some get your hard-earned dollars
While others make you blind.
But there are snakes that give you good luck
That shed their skins in the summer time
If you get their clothing by spring time
You'd be lucky in love and rhyme.
There are snakes that became dragon
And spit a poisoned bile
So if I were you my friends and lovers
Be with me and I'd protect you from harm.
