Paul Andrews Poet Rhyme

Jake the Snake

There once was a snake
Whose name was Jake
He slithered and slid
And kept well hid
But had a bad encounter with a rake.

He went to jail
For killing a snail
Committed the crime
So he served his time
And lived to tell the tale.

He had too much grog
And got it on with a frog
But was later found 
Living deep underground
Far away in a dirty old bog.

Alison A Smith June 10, 2026 at 10:45 PM I think I like Jake the Snake. Though maybe his decisions have not been that great. Paul Andrews June 11, 2026 at 5:06 PM Thank you for reading my poem, Alison. Ever since the Garden of Eden, snakes have been well known for their dubious actions. I find it interesting how snakes can be synonymous with both knowledge and danger - oh, and if we didn't have snakes we'd probably be overrun with rodents and frogs. All the best. Kind regards, Paul.
