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
