Oh Mr snake,
For goodness sake,
You ate the buns
And chocolate cake,
And all the pastries
That I baked
You ate before my eyes.
Oh Mr snake,
Oh deary me,
You emptied out
The pot of tea,
And look at this
I can’t believe
You’ve eaten all the pies.
Oh Mr Snake
You’re munching still,
You’ve eaten well
You’ve had your fill,
But I know you
You’ll eat until
There’s nothing left at all.
Oh Mr Snake
It’s such a shame,
You’re now so big
I’m not to blame.
The time has come
To change your name
I’ll call you Mr Ball

Kids will love it I'm sure.
