Poem 131: Do Snakes Like Chocolate

Mr. President, do snakes like chocolate?

We moved Daniel to the barn
when we discovered him burning daylight
in front of the studio

he made for the logs
but it was a charade
we all know there's no work back there

we gathered is long oily ass
into a wicker basket
put the lid on
and moved him to the barn
laid the basked on its side
and removed the lid:
and I am proud

to report that Daniel crawled
right into the rat hole
under the rabbit hutch

this was two days ago
and that is why I have to know
if snakes enjoy chocolate
for be he never so lazy at eating rats
I do not wish to harm
poor Daniel
or otherwise jeopardize our relationship
by killing him

and I am going to have to lay some traps
