Something in life that really makes me squirm
may seem to you like a large worm.
You say "oh grow up! for heavens sake!
a grown man like you afraid of a little snake?
Of all the animals in life that I do battle
I prefer that mine do not have rattles.
If it makes you laugh to see me gasp
then take a look when I see an asp.
I would rather swim with sharks and killer whales
then spend some time with things with scales.
If I ran into a snake I quickly turned and went
I would do anything to avoid those pesky serpents.
I know a charming man who is a snake charmer
I feel much safer as a vegetable farmer.
I dont like spiders I dont like bugs
or folks that squeeze me like a boa constrictor hugs.
When it comes to snakes this is my goal in their role
to make sure they stay in their snake hole.
You can bet I need no reminder
to turn and run when I see a sidewinder.
So it seems I cant get the hang
to relax around those things with fangs.
I really hate those darn snakes that crawl on their bellies
they remind me of folks Ive met in dark alleys.
Some people eat em'. find them rather finger lickin'
when it comes to snakes you will find me rather chicken!
