A Slippery Tongue

So sweet, a double-crossed tongue.
The moment we taste its flavor,
We lose our minds completely.

And out is born
A brand new creature.

So foul, a double-crossed tongue.
The moment we spit out its taste,
We come back to our senses.

And out is born
A filthy creature.

"And lo, that very creature of mold is you!"
