Inside a Snake
Jake was eaten by a snake
Gave the snake a belly ache
Jake was wiggling deep inside
Sister Suzy ran to hide.
Jake removed his pocket knife
Slit the snake to save his life
Suzy said, "For goodness sake!
Why'd you go and kill the snake?"
This is one of the earliest poems, circa 1969, from what has ever since been designated as a series called "Lucifera's Questionable Daycare Poems and Stories." This one appears never to have been published, though someday I expect to collect them all into one book.
