Poem based on true story of a man's dog who was snake bitten while the man fishing.
BO AND LUKE AND JOHN AND JAKE
WENT FISHIN’ ONE DAY DOWN BY THE LAKE
ALL WAS FINE THE HOOK WAS BAITED
WHEN SUDDENLY THINGS GOT COMPLICATED

LUKE WAS SPOOKED
BO SAID “NOOO”
TO WARN THEIR MASTER..CAN’T KEEP HIM IN THE DARK
THE TWO DID THEIR DEED.. AND STARTED TO BARK

JAKE SAID WHOA!!! WHAT’S THIS I SEE
A RATTLER IN WAIT FOR MY MASTER AND ME
ONLY ONE THING, MR. SNAKE.. THAT I CAN DO
PUT MYSELF IN BETWEEN MY MASTER AND YOU

AS FAST AS MY BODY COULD DO THE DEED
YOUR FANGS SUNK IN MY PAW.. GOOD AND DEEP
THE PAIN SHOT IN
MASTER’S HEAD DID SPIN

SUDDENLY WITH FEAR IN HIS EYES
MASTER GRABBED THAT SNAKE, TO IT’S SURPRISE
THE RATTLER LET GO..BUT LIKE A NOOSE..
MASTER DID FROM IT’S BODY, MAKE THE SNAKES HEAD LOOSE

BO AND LUKE WATCHED ON IN AWE
“COULD THIS REALLY BE WHAT WE REALLY SAW?”

JOHN GRABBED JAKE, UP THE HILL THEY WENT
GET TO THE VET, BEFORE THE TIME IS SPENT
MISTRESS SAID “WHAT? AND WHERE? AND WHO?
LOOK AT YOU JOHN, WHAT’S HAPPENED TO YOU?”

THROUGH HUFFS AND PUFFS AND SWEAT AND TEARS
MASTER TOLD MISTRESS OF ALL HIS FEARS
OFF TO THE VET WE DID GO
THE SWELLING NO LONGER JUST IN MY TOE

WITH A PINCH AND A POKE AND A NEEDLE IN HIS RUMP
JAKE WILL BE FINE ONCE HE IS OVER THIS HUMP
MASTER HAS PROMISED ME WITH A THRILL
WE’LL SEE THAT SNAKE LAID OUT ON THE GRILL

SO TO ALL YOU WHO SLITHER LET THIS BE A LESSON
NOT WITH OUR MASTER SHOULD YOU BE A’ MESSIN’
