THE SNAKE

Driving along Route 209 in PA yesterday I listened to “60s on 6” on SiriusXM Radio.  One of the songs Phlash Phelps played was THE SNAKE.

THE SNAKE is a song released by American singer Al Wilson in 1968.

As Wikipedia explains -

“The song tells the story of a kind and tender woman who finds a frozen snake on the ground on her way to work one morning. The snake begs the woman to take it home and take care of it. She obliges and takes the snake to her home and puts it by the fireplace with a silk blanket, some honey, and some milk. When she gets home from work later that evening, she finds that the snake is now warm and revived. Feeling happy for the snake's recovery, she picks it up and gives it a tight hug and kisses it on the head. However, the snake is actually vicious and gives the woman a bite, fatally poisoning her.”  

It reminded me of Donald T Rump and the Republicans.

There will no doubt come a point when the Republican Party will finally acknowledge the proven fact that Trump is an ignorant and incompetent and totally self-absorbed and self-interested demagogue, with no concern whatsoever for American or the Republican Party.

They will wonder why Trump betrayed the Republican Party, America and the American people - actually killing the once Grand Ole Party that had embraced, supported and defended him.

To paraphrase the bottom line of the song -

"Shut up silly Republican! You knew damn well Trump was a crook and a conman and a totally worthless piece of shit before you voted for him!"
