Snakes In the Grass

Beware people there are snakes in the grass They are hiding in places where you would never expect them to Their sinews can wrap around you and crush your bones Metaphorical snakes abound they are everywhere Keep your eyes open! when at work or at play for there are snakes in the grass And they mean you no good Snakes with brown coloration Snakes which are green and snakes which blend into the background Who to trust? Not an easy decision But don't give in for then the snakes surely win!

I think a lot of these snakes are now in our government or tracking our lives with all the new techo out there. Good one.
