THE SNAKE'S EXCUSE

THE SNAKE’S EXCUSE







The Nazi ends his life in a small cottage

With damp sheets; under his bed he has

Useless German Marcs and plans for attack.



Always there is opposition and the serpent

Is peeking his head out with his tongue to

Sense if the time is ripe for aggravated assault.



Even if we pay the rent on time in damp basements

We remain under siege because we are using space

That is comfortable for the serpent who likes it damp



We are the children of children who habitually have a

Lung disease because we breath in the grief of this

World.  The sub-tropics are beautiful but moldy and damp.



Damp and clammy is the world of giving in to the serpent.

And our homes are appraised for less because of the mold.

Why do we always make it so comfortable for the snake?



The innocent child will talk with the snake because the child

Is without guile.   Yes, it will even bond with the snake in its

Own lair.  The snake’s excuse is always, “You knew I was a snake.”
