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"
