Free Cee Snakes Do Not Belong There

SNAKES DON'T BELONG THERE

She told me to walk through flames
the lady who claims to go by many names
she told me she can do almost anything well
especially sending men to hell

she claimed to be able to rule over men
and instead of ink there's poison in her pen
when she makes a man cry there becomes a flood
and perhaps instead of poison in her pen there is blood

she'll teach you to dance with grace
as you marvel at the beauty of her face
the dance she'll teach you is called “how to obey”
and then she'll teach you how to pay

the fee won't be in cash or coin
she has a club and your weeping eyes are the only way to  join
she and I once made a wondrous pair
but now I call her Medusa with snakes instead of hair
