Very nice! Although I see most of the snakes I've known as more like most of the cats I've known, so the devoted master/god bit makes me snicker.


THE PRAYER OF THE CAT
Oh my master, do not take me for a slave, for I have in me a taste for liberty:
Do not seek to divine my secrets, for I have in me a taste for mystery;
Do not constrain me with caresses, for I have in me a taste for modesty,
Do not humiliate me, for I have in me a taste for pride,
Do not abandon me, for I have in me a taste for fidelity,
Love me and I will love thee, for I have in me a taste for friendship.
