He tells them of his fine degree
From Wiggle University.
And laughs at silly Uncle Rube
Who fell in love with a plastic tube.

Reminds them how late cousin Victor,
Made a mistake—hugged a constrictor.
His brother Stubby, still is alive,
But part of his tail is on I 95.

He remembers how the gals would gasp
At his old buddy, Al the Asp.
Al grabbed his tail to make a hoop
And round a branch he'd loop the loop.

His stories make the young snakes smile.
And he keeps it up for quite a while.
Then they say, "It would be real nice
If you could give us some advice."
