To my therapist-

It’s because my tail’s a mile from my head
That I feel a sense of nervous dread
When my head turns left while my tail stays straight
Cuz it’s VERY hard to concentrate!
And I’m desperately tired of strangling myself
Every morning before untangling myself
And where do I pay my taxes, I ask ya’
When my head’s in Missouri and my tail’s in Nebraska?
My front-end gets sleepy while my back-end’s awake
When I’m hungry I’ve a mile-long belly-ache
And don’t get me started on automatic doors
My tail gets crushed when I enter the drugstore
Mr. Therapist, sir, I just need a break
It’s very exhausting bein’ a snake


Sincerely,
Rudy Rattler
