  • Who has heard the poem called "The Snake"?

  • So I have it.

  • Does anybody want to hear it again?

  • You're sure? Are you sure?

  • So here it is, "The Snake."

  • It's called "The Snake."

  • They're not sending their best.

  • On her way to work one morning

  • You can do anything.

  • Whatever you want. Grab her by the

  • Down the path,

  • along the lake.

  • A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake.

  • And I'm allowed to go in because I'm

  • the owner of the pageant and therefore, I'm inspecting.

  • You're like a doctor.

  • His pretty colored skin had been all frosted

  • with the dew.

  • "America first."

  • Poor thing, she cried, I'll take you

  • in and I'll take care of you.

  • It's working out very nicely.

  • You see it at the airport, you see it all over.

  • It's working out very nicely.

  • Take me in, o tender woman.

  • Take me in, for heaven's sake.

  • I'm president. Hey, I'm president.

  • Can you believe it?

  • Take me in,

  • oh tender woman, sighed the vicious snake.

  • If you cross the border unlawfully, then

  • we will prosecute you.

  • She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk.

  • Very fine peopleon both sides.

  • And laid him by her fireside with some honey

  • and some milk.

  • Three billion dollars.

  • $533 million.

  • She hurried home from work that night.

  • And as soon as she arrived she found that pretty snake she'd taken in

  • had been revived.

  • This is an island surrounded by water.

  • Big water.

  • Take me in, oh tender woman.

  • Take me in, for heaven's sake. Take me in,

  • sighed that vicious snake.

  • I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia

  • is a made-up story.

  • It's an excuse.

  • She clutched him to her bosom.

  • You're so beautiful,

  • she cried.

  • But if I hadn't brought you in by now, oh heavens,

  • you would have died.

  • If we had had confidence

  • that the president clearly did not commit a crime,

  • we would have said so.

  • She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed him

  • and held him tight.

  • The actions of the Trump presidency

  • revealed dishonorable fact of the president's betrayal

  • of his oath of office, betrayal

  • of our national security and betrayal of the integrity

  • of our elections.

  • But instead of saying thank you

  • that snake gave her a vicious bite.

  • Was there a quid pro quo.

  • The answer is yes.

  • Everyone was in the loop.

  • I have saved you,

  • cried the woman.

  • And you've bitten me.

  • Heaven's, why?

  • You know your bite is poisonous.

  • And now I'm going to die.

  • President Trump has been impeached by the House of Representatives

  • for abuse of power.

  • Oh, shut up, silly woman, said the reptile with a grin.

  • You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.
