If a viper's a snake 

And an asp's an adder

If either one bites you 

Then what does it matter...

Tom had to empty his bladder 
The path was blocked by an adder
"Just Russians" it hissed
But Tom never missed
And now that adder is madder...

gallops into the bracken - -

Just Doesn'T Add Up
Pythagoras once fell off a ladder
And landed on a venomous adder
This adder couldn't add
Calculus made it sad
Algebra and theorems made it madder....

The blacksmith while he was hammering
did hit his thumb, oh boy how it stung
dipped it in water
got bit by an adder
boy, he swore and swore at the aching...

white corals around
landscapes sparkle in pure white ---
adder snakes creep on creepers 

white furs and sponges 
ornament the environs ---
white fox innocently blinks

Hot Ice
Was your heart,

           woven from the ant-artic circle?

        Did your speech derive from the bitterness

   of the deaf-adder, which is'nt moved by the charmers

                                  charm?...

There's plenty of goodness out there
but it's been fanged by the puff adder DJS
now goodness is slowly dying on media vines 
behind boarded up windows and riot fire
with pistols and rosaries at the ready
awaiting the fires of salvation...

Eerie Generosity
What a doll you've been in this crisis!
                                  I have broken my  pubic symphysis
                                    You've propped me with a ladder
                                     You've applied on ass an adder
                                   And brought me a pesky paralysis...

Premium Member The Sum of It
Some snakes are called adders
And I know that's true
Most adders are very good at sums
Others can't add up to two
This must be a worry
For adders who can't add
This could make this type of snake
Both miserable and sad
Cheer up little adder
There is no reason for shame
An adder is not an adder
It's only just his name...

Premium Member Illusions
The bloody soul we learn to hate Is not our own nor pain within us The visions of fantasy which we partake Cause violence; man’s weakness, unjust Illusions like the strike of an adder Destroy the wealth of human might The spirit strains at its lonesome ladder And pitches itself down into the night
