The Fox and the Snake

The fox came around the bend, and that was a mistake.
I set a new trend, by being the poetry soup snake!
To be a premium member, is a helluva award.
I'm the glow of a burning ember, my pen metamorphases into a blazing sword!
I laugh because I wrote this to make sure my slam was read.
I know you've stared at my photograph and wished me dead!
You said I couldn't find love on the soup, because I was a snake.
But you're mad because I slammed your whole group and exposed you as a fake!
So sly fox what's new? Let the soup see what's behind the mask.
I promise I won't laugh at you; just don't look at me is all I ask!
The fox knew the snakes bite was filled with venom.
I labled your man a poetic parasite, because poetry wasn't in him!
I entered your contest, knowing I would not win.
The organ beneath your chest, has been corrupted by sin!
The sly fox is as sneaky as the slithering snake.
Thrown in a box to detox and eternally bake!
You hate me fox like I hate you.
My slams unorthodox, but my words ring true!
You think I'm gonna shed a tear because you don't comment on my poetry?
Take my pen as a souvenir, and never forget me!

Wrote for P.D.'s contest "PD's Inner Animal"
