…As he sits on a park bench, snot running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Out in the cold sun, eyes aching on the hour
Feeling much more like a burnt duck
Running low on any power
So that we’re plum out of luck
In Africa, the threat of snakebite is an ever-present deadly hazard
The risk is exacerbated because it is disproportionately visited upon the poorest millions of society
Exposed to venomous snakes all their lives
With the least capital with which to procure, leastwise afford
The expensive treatments for the various antivenoms required
We are anticipating a certain amount of frozen precipitation today
With a high of 38° and a low of 25°, BRRRR!
Anyone for tennis?
