Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Macho Mouth

I found this here rattlesnake,
And took it to show my girlfriend.
Well, maybe that was a mistake.
She kept on screaming to no end.
To show that the snake was harmless,
Into my mouth, I stuck its head.
It bit my tongue. I must confess
I thought I was gonna be dead,
When my head blew up like a bomb.
The Doc says I'm a lucky case.
My girlfriend moved back with her Mom.
The snake's still missing at her place.

She wrote I should have known better;
Dumped me in her "Dear John" letter.
