It's better to pass
by a snake in the grass
as it slithers along close to earth
for a bite on the ass**
is no cause for mirth,
ergo give snake a very wide berth.
**Here we are into the realms of pronunciation. Those from the North of England please read 'ass' to rhyme with 'pass' and 'grass', whereas those from the South will need to substitutes 'arse' to rhyme with pahss and glahss.
