Love Poem: Standing Tall

Standing Tall

Condemned by God to slither thus
for tempting Eve to bite
the snake at first stood tall and proud
and always was upright.

Alas since then he has to hide
prepared to make his strike,
tempting again the fairer sex
who led him to this plight.

So legless, withered, long or short
condemned by female pride
the snake is ready to grow tall
and find a place to hide.

For when his moment cums at last
he's proud and tall and strong,
then spits with pleasure at the ones
temptation strung along.

And thus it satisfies the need
inbred in all it’s kind
by bringing forth the fruits of love
           ......to feed all womankind!
