The politician went for a walk
Inside the nearby park
To rid himself of all the evil
Committed by him; the ***** devil.
It was a tropical twilight,
With the sun already set
when on his constitutional walk
a snake so long he met.
The politician wished the snake
With folded arms as artificial as could be.

The snake was surprised to see
that the politician was not even afraid.
“Aren’t you scared of me?” it asked the politician.
“Why should I be” he replied
“when an entire nation is afraid of me,
why should I be afraid of a snake so wee.”
“That’s true indeed”, said the snake in all humility
for my bite can only poison a single man or woman
while your deeds can destroy all men common.
You poison the system while I just poison
only a mere individual; indeed
you certainly are much more vile than me.

It was at that juncture a common man
entered the park so pretty as a picture.
He noticed the hooded snake
as well as the political hood.
He took a stick from upon the ground
and rushed towards them making a wild sound.
He raised the stick above his head
and struck the politician dead.
The snake smiled as it slithered away
into the bushes growing wild.

The peasant so proud muttered as he looked all around,
“The snake has been around for ages in the park
but has not bit even a single person in the dark.
The politician has been around only for a few years
but has made many a family shed tears.
Therefore my friends if you ever see a snake and a politician
do not hesitate and whack the politician on his pate
and let the snake so wee go away Scot free.”
