A Great Lover

My kisses once gave her the shivers
I hugged her and she took the quivers
I smiled as a great lover
'Til she turned back the cover
A snake had crawled up from the rivers

Yes, snakes do like covers. I once found one in my sleeping bag while camping in the Catskill mountains. Love this, congratulations on your win Larry, and thanks for entering my contest...Charlie
