Caught
He is caught in a net
Just the way she had bet
Milk and honey he was fed
Until he was but deaf
He can hear no more the rest
He is covered with the range of defeat
Caught in a net she is
Her own play turned against her like an ox
All her limbs in a box
Her collapse caused by a well fashioned hoax
Trapped in the dust of unknown
Their rock-paper-scissors game, betrayed them both
*to the players*:-)
