CAVEAT




            CAVEAT


Just when one thought
the muse was running out of ink,
along came an inspiration
all dolled up in Biblical metaphor:

   Pay no attention to the Serpent
   and its many offspring
   disguised as human beings,
   so facile in falsehood
   they actually believe
   everything they say;

   trust only what resides
   deep within your soul,
   remembering Mammy’s maxim:

   “Ever since Granny ate that apple,
   I ain’t listnen to no talkin snakes.”
