SLITHERING Words: Holly Tune: Streets of Laredo As I slithered out in the garden of Eden As I went slith’ring round Eden one day I spied a young couple all wrapped up in nothing All of their naughty bits out on display. I said to the short one, I see you are mammals You both have nipples for feeding your young I have no nipples, for I am a reptile I have bright scales and a flattering tongue. I said to the tall one, I see you are manly You have that dangly thing down by your thigh Would you oblige me by wearing this fig leaf? I feel embarrassed, though I don’t know why. Let me present you this shiny red apple You can both share it with your buddy Steve It will give you wisdom, it is psychedelic Take a bite, Adam, and don’t you blame Eve.
