Sweaty snake
Sy, the Sweaty Snake

Sy is a snake that gets real wet,
When the sun comes out he starts to sweat.
Then he can't crawl, just lays and wiggles,
And cries when he hears his buddies' giggles.

Some night as a snake goes crawling by,
You'll know it's old Sy and you'll know why.
So tell your friends that it's all right.
Say, "A sweaty snake must crawl at night."
