Deadly Dangers

This amusing little ditty, "Deadly Dangers," should be self explanatory. Make sure to wait for the final punchline. It seems to be about snakes, but is really about how important it is to VOTE with CARE! The word "Fasces" refers to the ancient double-bladed ax that became the symbol for fascism. Carol's video is great as usual. Enjoy. Lyrics: Deadly Dangers Life is full of lurking dangers To lurking threats, we are no strangers Still, if you should venture from your door Just a few things to be watching for… The fearsome fer-de-lance Can almost kill you with a glance Countless species of venomous vipers Can kill you deader than a sniper The lethal viper of Gabon One quick strike and then you’re gone The truly fatal famous mamba You’re dead before you can scream “AH!” The western rattlesnake Has all the poison that it takes… The Banded Krait is a sneaky one A charming two-step, then you’re done The almost always fatal cobra Spits in your eye and then it’s o-vah… Sleeping in trees the slinky boomslang As final as a bow-string’s twang The impressive giant python One quick squeeze and then you’re gone The snakes can kill you just for fun Before you draw your pricey gun Go ahead and empty out the magazine They won’t hear you through your screams The awesome green-eyed crocodile Might get you in a local sewer (or on the Nile) A pretentious, idiotic pundit Can do you in with just a tongue slip Over-bearing, over-reaching Generals Can unleash an awful lot of death knells Vicious fools in angry masses Are as deadly as a double-bladed fasces Blindly follow ignorant mobs And you may never need another job Elect vain and silly presidents And you may no longer need a residence So, look around before you go These are only some things you should know There are many other dangers, some quite strange From all of them, best stay out of range There are many other lethal options out there So, when you vote please have a care… There are many other lethal options out there So, when you vote please have a care…
