The Genuine Snake

Steady on the scrawny legs,
Running about seemingly active. 
Work gets done, begs
Not he. Some say he is rather overactive.

Staring through pebbled eyes,
Glistening merry with quite the charm. 
Dishing out friendly advice,
Makes his way in to the ladies' arms.

Genuinely does he seem to care
About one and all, family and friends. 
Enticing ladies in to his poisonous lair,
Knows not the world, for he doesn't dare.
