She Is a Snake

She slithers up to me but I take a step back, carefully, gingerly It’s not that she is not affectionate, because you would think that if you saw The way she wants to get close. I have watched her in action before. I know when she sidles up, she wants something. Seriously? Have I ever looked more serious? She has a forked tongue but who am I to ruin the surprise? I am sure she has qualities that would enhance and excite Qualities that would uplift you at least momentarily, however, in my own experience, she is seductive, sneaky, sassy and seriously potentially poisonous. You do not have to take my word for it. Go speak to the carcasses in the corner.

I have to remind you - I have had 37 jobs, only a few careers. I have successfully ELIMINATED 36 jobs I despised thanks to characters like this.
