Trump revisits 'The Snake' poem at Pennsylvania rally

Trump revisits 'The Snake' poem at Pennsylvania rally:
"President Trump treated his supporters to a dramatic poetry reading Saturday night, delivering Al Wilson's ballad, "The Snake," at a Harrisburg, Pa., rally to commemorate his first 100 days in office.
During the campaign, Trump regularly recited the poem as a cautionary tale against allowing Syrian refugees to take advantage of American generosity. 
The 569-word sonnet revolves around "a vicious snake" who repays "a tender woman" for her kindness with a vicious bite." 
Read it below."

"The Snake" by Al Wilson (1968):
On her way to work one morning
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..."
