The Elusive Handshake
Is it a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
No, it is a sheep in wolf’s clothing.
Is it a green snake in the grass?
No it is a green grass in the snake.
So they navigate the treacherous waters of politics
As we wait for them to find the elusive handshake.
But I ask, as the old man was asked not to go quickly
Was he also asked not to reach his destination?
