Eve's Revenge
You creep amongst my garden
You sneaky thing
Slender and brilliantly green -
Terrifying yet so beautiful.
A serpent from ages past
A tempting devil of a pest
An ancient rival
I think upon your test
A fruit so sweet of what’s to be
Why you gave that sweet to me
And why not him
I ask -
As I squash your tiny body
Under my heel.
