Two Old Friends

Emily Rose
(Everyone knows)
Hates the common dandelion
Doesn't matter where it grows.

Jessica Lake
(Make no mistake)
Has a strange obsession
With the common garden snake

Two old gals
(Bestest of pals)
Walk out with their silver canes
Tigers on their prowls

Rose says 'Snake!'
Lake says 'Weed!'
And with one another
They've got all that they need.

I don't really like these charcacters; they are snobs of the highest order! The "Rose" determined to rid the world of the "dandelion", the "Lake" and the "Rose", powerful, majestic images attacking things they feel are "common". The "silver" of their canes furthers their association with the upper classes. Their dismissal of the rest of the world in the final line is heart wrenching. The childish language ("bestest" etc.) suggests that they are not only snobs, but dimwits as well... THE SNAKES NEED REHABILITATION, NOT EXTERMINATION!!!

Excellent poem!
