BEWARE:

Beware of all in life, it´s never what it seems,

All plans of wily men & their best laid schemes,

That worm in the apple, so juicy, sweet & red,

Insanity fast asleep, within prettiest of heads.

 

Cupid´s arrow of love, splintered bent & broken,

Demon within the saint, disturbed & often woken,

Hot chili in chocolate, of smooth complacent balm,

The crack of loud thunder, in sky´s undisputed calm.

 

Lime´s twisted rind, in life´s sweet & cloying cocktail.

Acidic juice of lemons, in scorpion´s hot barbed tail,

Sickly sweet words, upon venom´s pink forked tongue,

The secret coded messages, from choirs, sweetly sung.

 

Prayers of adoration & soft whispered words of love,

Handled with gentle care & red-scarlet velvet gloves,

Oh for those plans, of men & their best laid schemes,

Beware of all in life, as sadly, it´s never what it seems.
