    The Snake
    Johnny Rivers Lyrics

    Down the path along side the lake
    A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
    His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
    "Poor thing," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
    "Take me in tender woman
    Take me in, for heaven's sake
    Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

    She wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk
    And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
    She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
    She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had bee revived
    "Take me in, tender woman
    Take me in, for heaven's sake
    Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

    She clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
    "But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
    She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
    Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite
    "Take me in, tender woman
    Take me in, for heaven's sake
    Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
    "I saved you," cried the woman
    "And you've bitten me, but why?
    You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
    "Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
    "You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
    "Take me in, tender woman
    Take me in, for heaven's sake
    Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

    That's one of Aesop's Fables: The Countryman and the Snake.

    We lost a legend today. Bud Grant died at the age of 95. He was a three sport star in college, drafted in the NBA and won a title with the Minneapolis Lakers, played in the NFL and coached the Vikings for many years and had much coaching success in the CFL as well. I love this shot of him coming out for a coin toss in below zero weather in a polo shirt.

    It would seem winning the big game in the U.S. is more difficult than winning it in Canada. (no disrespect to Bud Grant intended) R.I.P.

    Yeah, there were nine teams in the CFL at that time.
