I quite like kittens,
And sheepskin mittens
But snakeskin gives me a fright.
The mere thought of a snake,
Can keep me awake
Through many a sleepless night.
Oh how I hate
That bright banded krait
The rattlesnake, boa and asp,
I come out in cold sweat,
That one day I might get
Caught up in a python’s tight grasp.
The sight of a cobra or even a viper,
Will make me quite hyper
When I think of that venomous bite.
And I’ll dance a fast samba,
At the thought of a mamba
Sliding into my bedroom to fight.
And I will never ever,
From now ‘til forever,
Get to feel any fonder
For the huge anaconda
Diamondback rattler, slim fer-de-lance
Sidewinder, Sea snake, Coral snake, krait;
Boomslang, brown snake and viper gaboon,
Bushmaster, asp and cottonmouth moccasin
Tiger snake, mamba
