THE WRITINGS ARE BIBLICAL A SNAKE IN THE GRASS CAN BE SILENT BUT DEADLY. YOU CAN NEVER  LOVE A SNAKE, THE SERPENT HAS A SPLIT TONGUE, IT WAS THE SNAKE WHO SPILLED LIES TO ADAM AND EVE; THE SERPENT WILL LET YOU HOLD IT; BUT CHOKE YOU IN YOUR SLEEP; IT WILL LET YOU FEED IT A RAT, BUT BITE YOU WHEN YOU PULL BACK.
