Snake Dinner Poem by Marilyn Lott

A snake dinner anyone?
Now, don’t go shakin’ your head
You just might really like it
Not necessarily something to dread

I’ve heard snake is delicious
And there are lots that you can do
To spark and spruce it right up
Whatever works for you

Pour on catsup perhaps?
Or a little bit of red wine?
Mustard or hot sauce?
Whatever you like is fine

Maybe braised or broiled
Or sautéed right in a pan
Add veggies perhaps for stew
Whatever you have on hand

I’d imagine they’re like frog legs
They say frogs taste like chicken
All crispy and deep fried
Hey, it really sounds finger lickin’

So, I’ll tell you what I’ll do
I’m gonna head out very soon
If I get a chance I’ll try some snake
You might sing a different tune!
