So
Charming
Was his way
To play the flute
Aside the river
Made snake rise, mesmerized
But, what no one really knew
Was this rather odd creature’s guile
Had the power to transform serpent
Into a beautiful flower, tis then,
Unable to conjure up his evil
Snake realized, he was being played
For a fool, for he could not see
A trace of his reflection
As only the lake showed
The exquisiteness
Held in the sounds
Alien
Music
Plays.

If you don’t take the initiative, to better your life

People begin to think of you, as an ugly old snake

Kindness is important, in this world, so full of strife

Put others before your own self, for goodness sake!

As fate would have it
Appearing again
A visible creature
An angel, so prim

She’ll pour you a glass
Or perhaps even two
As the clock ticks off time
Oh my, how it flew

She’s taking no chances
Making sure you’ll partake
Her slithering friend
Sees to your mistake

While her innocent face
Has you mesmerized, still
She’ll pour you another
Draw you in, against your will

No longer a battle
This one, you did lose
A victim of happenstance
Better knock off the booze
