Slithering deal

Way up the hill of all your dreams
Lies the wise tree of recall old,
Where the serpent does eye life’s beams,
Such an upright sight to behold!

Yet I, like the snake of judgement,
Do plan the advent of my threshold
Whilst people are bound to dement, 
Such an upright sight to behold!

I crawl in prone march, propelled by
The negotiating might of gold;
Alas! I am feeling a passer-by,
Such an upright sight to behold!

The business of crafty, long words
Starts: deaf is my victim and cold,
I poison him with overwords.
Such an upright sight to behold!

I finally renewed my clothes,
So that now no one knows me well,
And shall I be hidden in holes,
Such a favourable farewell!
