In Viper's Coil ~*Marge Tindal*~ From 'neath the rock of other soil the cowardly viper lay in coil We missed the rattle he did impart as his venom struck deep in America's heart As we now apply the anti-venom to the wounds of this sorrowing nation Rest assured the snake handlers prepare for terrorist extermination Though you slither to your bunker snake it's not deep enough for you to hide We will penetrate your nest and nail your sorry diamond hide Slither, slither - scum of the earth your fortune just won't suffice to protect your lousy hide when the exterminators bite you twice Joined with other nations in coups de main of retribution We'll skin and hang you on our walls And as surely as we do the world will cheer in exaltation <~~ Counting coup ~~> ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

This is right on target! Wish the scum could read it but I know he will read the message one way or the other. So many songs keep coming to mind.. when I read this poem the song "these boots are made for walking and that's just what they'll do" and we know the rest of the lines to it... Freedom lovers know The Eagel will not be defeated by a serpent. |

Marge- And the anti-venom slowly takes effect... and the snake handlers continue to prepare... You've said it well, my friend, and in a strong, clear voice for all to hear. Hugs, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |

One year later ... sadly we haven't gotten close to the viper's lair~ We must press onward with vigor and determination~ |
