A not so unpretentious allegory


Venus (you flytrap)

Marble statues dancing

Through the ancientest of glades

Luring my fancy

With thoughts as daylight fades

 

Wand'ring far afield I'm

Following their siren calls

Cant find a hymn nor rhyme

To drown out their soft footfalls

 

Gasping tripping stumbling

To escape their cold pale claws

Beautiful forms crumbling

'Round their red cavernous jaws

 

And now young one

The old man warned,

Beware of them who hide

Within your fun,

The old man warned

Beware of whats inside
