[Bunx]

Senior snake, the old and wise
may I take your council free of demise?

Or will you take what I have to say
as a tasty surprise?

Will I meet your demise?

Sorry senior, my eyes are burning
harshly from the sun.

Snake, out in the desert I can't
smell what is food or rot.

How do you survive in this
death like place?

Rise, said the snake.
In the desert
every treat you must take.

Fake or otherwise a lie can be
history or demise.

I am just a hungry desert snake
if you thrive on lies,
ill be your demise.

I don't lie I just slither
on by, looking for those things,
where weak resides.

Things that tickle my belly inside.
