when you tire of snakes slithering beside your heals
become a medusa wear in your hair hissing snake fashions
beware snakes that bite seriously impair repeat dates

There's something magnificent about the diction here. Reminds of Hollies lyrics. And the idea that one can make lemonade when handed lemons, but done with snakes! This one lands on my favourites list!

Thanks Mark, this was a wind down fun to write, sometimes flippant remarks say the most.

Thanks Andy, seemed a mythical legendary interaction, snake charming, the use of snakes milked for venom for antivenom, the Medusa seemed a movie theme popular culture concept fascinating as a fashion statement. Was a bit of light relief after writing 11 panic attack poems which seemed to need writing.
