Miss Hiss

I'd rather cuddle with a cobra,
And chance its lethal venom
Than to fight with female spite-
Cause to strike is like such women!

if you cuddled the cobra and you suffered [black poison] you need the antidote to get out of hell

do without the D in I'd , it sounds better as for title. . . "serpentine women " comes to mind

I had debated that actually, and thought that "I'd" sounded a bit more flippant, given the contemptuous tone of the piece, but I definitely see your point. It's worth considering, absolutely. And that's not a bad title suggestion; I'll definitely take that into consideration, also. Thanks for your valued feedback, Danesh :)
