thorn the snake

once there was a snake
who did nothing all day,
so he decided to slither and move my way,
this snake u see, is an old friend of mine,
we chilled and hung out and went out to dine,
god its been so very long,
i've had to put up with this snake named 'thorn',
"thorn?" u ask, "what a very strange name...
i've never heard of a snake named that way,"
"thorn?" i say, "his name is so,
coz he's a thorn in my side and he has to go!"
so i try and try to get rid of the snake,
but try as i might i cant escape,
so till today him and me are mates,
a friendship i am eager to eradicate,
u might now wonder what the hell i'm after,
ranting about this goddamn snake,
u might want to ponder, maybe the snake i'm after,
isnt a person or a place.
dear thorn is in fact,
a symbol of that,
one characteristic i hate,
one's called laziness, the other procrastination,
2 things i have to date.
in times like this i get especially sick,
of dear old slithery thorn,
in times like this, when i have exams next week,
i wish he'd never been born.

Whoaa.. so the snake.. is actually something you made up? That you dislike about yourself? Very interesting. Nice rhymes.

yea thorn's made up he's just symbolic. tend to use snakes when i wanna represent something evil though...not quite sure why . thanx for reading it tho.

why you gotta be bringin saneks down like that, yo? why you gotta be hatin the snakes. snakes are nice, man. unless they kill you. then they suck. but still! jeeze. poor snakes.

ok nevermid

i like it

i'll be sure to write one about bunnies or sumthin next time dude. haha.

no. man, you gotta ascociate DEER with evil and vice, man. no one knows, but deer are the worst animal ever! they come off as all cute and defenseledss, but they're actually more ravenous than 2000 great whites! kill all the deer!!!!!

like this:

theres a deer i know
he makes me smoke and drink
and kill babies for satan
i don't like the deer
he's evil and stuff
i wish he'd fall off somthing high
onto somthing sharp
but he's too busy
sticking old women's hands
into blenders

sept rhyming.

deers are the WORST!

u know that would sound real good with lots of power chords and sung with heaps of grunting.

but, like, all my songs are like that. i think this oue should be acoustic. with a cowbell keeping beat. and sung like, like... yodeling. yea!

it could even be a musical.

Haha you two are funny. I like this poem, though - it made me laugh, actually. Oh how I could get rid of Thorn, too.

well there's this other snake that i kinda hate,
a snake i didnt mention above,
his name is bo and he likes to go
following ppl he loves,
he's a disgusting dude and he repels u,
with the subtelty of a lawnmower,
he's such a sore coz his name stands for
the word body odour.


once again, no deer. sorry dude.

oh and hi kathleen. sigh.

Lol I so need to get rid of Thorn. But I'm too lazy to try and I keep procrastinating.
