Middle​-​Eight Snake

from Meetoo by Muddy Suzuki

/

lyrics

There once was a cobra,
a very docile chap.
Although his tongue was quite sharp
he had heart for his friends.
He had aspirations.
He also had his flaws.
He would write songs that had neither beginning nor ends.

"Oh, writing songs is tricky with no hands,
making heiroglyphics in the sands.
See! I compose a middle-eight for you!
Is there nothing more that I should do?"

One of Middle's problems:
a short attention span.
When the winds blew, lost his words,
can't remember a thing.
He met a musician
who put tunes to his words.
Middle-Eight Snake was so happy
he felt he could sing.

"Oh, writing songs is tricky with no hands,
making heiroglyphics in the sands.
How easier it is to write with you.
There is naught the two of us can't do."

But Middle had forgot another problem he possessed.
Cobras have a deadly shot of blinding venom poisonous.
His smile grew so wide he couldn't stop his instinctive side.
His teeth were bared, the poison streamed.
Middle's partner fell and screamed.
The poison struck him face full-on
and Middle knew his friend was gone.
