Code Red

Syrupy smoke leaks from her corner lair 
Ruby red lips lick your name in the air 
Short skirts lead any man’s mind straight to sex 
Probably any man’s instant reflex 

a Black short dress covers something in red 
Back widow spiders share this fateful dread 
Long nails mark her toxic territory 
Enter her den and your end is gory 

Her scarlet smile painted in most excess,
Beware this code for your later distress 
Webs of streaming lies entangle your fate 
Caution your minds state; never take the bait 

A smarter man would have played simply dead 
Heed code red, you may already be wed!
