THE SNAKE IN THE CLOSET
My sister-in-law named Nor Today had quite a thrill. In her closet lurking Was a snake she had to kill.
Each time the door would open, This awful hiss she'd hear. Who could she call to help her? But, she didn't shed a tear.
Instead, she grabbed a flashlight And a stick so long and thin. She opened up that closet And, with courage, stuck it in.
A hiss she heard as she opened the door To hit it with a whack. She looked on the floor only to see Her hairspray - old Jhirmack.
It had caught in the door, Slowly losing it's air. With a sigh of relief, Nor sat down in her chair.
She thought of the newscast And what they might say. "Woman fights Jhirmack In her closet today."
