Man of Means

Oh, yes. A man of means. Harsh, cold creature Punctured smile Selfish demon Dark fills his genes Oh, yes. A man of means. Tongue like an asp Punctured words Words like a bee Meaning that stings Oh, yes. A man of means. Hands like a hawk Punctured grasp Grasp of a kite Contented, preens Oh, yes. A man of means. Sharp as a shark Punctured veins Veins running red The worst of fiends. Oh, yes. A man of means. Force of a mamba Punctured gasp Gasping for air Man of no miens.
