Eurynome

Come all old maids that are squeamishAnd afraid to make mistakes,Don't clutter your lives up with boyfriends:The nicest girls marry snakes.

If you don't mind slime on your pillowAnd caresses as gliding as ice-- Cold skin, warm heart, remember,And besides, they keep down the mice --

If you're really serious-minded,It's the best advice you can take:No rumpling, no sweating, no nonsense,Oh who would not sleep with a snake?
