Snakes Don't Kiss
Snakes don't kiss.
I know this because I used to be one,
in a former life,
long time ago,
biblically speaking.
Snakes don’t kiss cos their hiss gets in the way,
and that long long tongue you see with the V?
Gets all tangled when two snakes frenchie.
No, snakes don't kiss.
But never take a bet on it,
especially with a snake.
'Cause apart from not kissing, they're quite prone to lying.
I know this because I used to be one,
in a former life,
long time ago,
biblically speaking.
It hasn't always been like this.
Snakes used to kiss
back when girls came of dirt, not ribs,
wanted fun with anyone,
and wouldn't bow down to any man.
I know this because I used to be one,
in a former life,
long time ago,
biblically speaking.

Many thanks Hannah.
I know exactly who it is about and stupidly thought it would be obvious to all, so removed a line which may have made it clearer. But hey, ambiguity is a Good Thing in Poetry, right? ?
