Poison Penny

A Story/Poem

She waltzes

Through the fields

With the coming

Of spring,

Spreading her poison

Wherever she goes—

Luring weak-minded men

To their doom.

She doesn’t care

Who she snares

Or who cares

For the condemned

All that matters

Is that she hooks a few

Before the season is through

She has her eyes

Set on a few

Hoping that they

Take the bait

So that she can reel

Them into her

Waiting bosom

Where they will

Happily abide

Gladly accept

Merrily go to

Willingly love

Unhesitatingly rush to

Ungrudgingly give into

Blissfully receive

Sleep forevermore

In her arms

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
