A snake and a mongoose strolled down the beach

An Odd Couple since hate was the feeling of each

“As a snake I could swallow before you could yell”

“But I’d bite your head off before you could tell”

The meaness got them nowhere they both knew

And it was so bad they wished they were through

They both had to be true to what they were born

But were getting tired of treating each other with scorn

“What things do you like?” said the Mongoose to the snake

“Well I must admit that I do love cheesecake”

“I’d like to suggest something to do”

“Find a Cheesecake Factory and we’ll order two.”

They did find one and loved eating the food

And both decideded it’s good to be good

“Let’s try to be friends for the rest of the night”

But when the bill came they had a big fight

So they decided that they both must stay

Whatever they are, and whoever they were

And the snake would keep… all of his skin

And the Mongoose would keep… all of his fur
