SERPENTS SCORPIONS AND OWLS

SERPENTS SCORPIONS AND OWLS We are led to believe that serpents lie But that is the theme of a famous story And by eating forbidden fruit, we die Living a life no longer blessed in glory Scorpions look evil, but that’s the point A stinging tail used only when required But depends however on a flexible joint And with its protective scales, is attired Owls are supposed to be wise, it is said I guess it’s helped by wide angle of view And sees so much when turning its head Well perhaps after all, it may just be true
