Yams

If you’ve got beef with me, 
Please season it to taste. 
Every word of hate is just a breath you waste, 
The face of disbelief, 
Will you ever forgive yourself come the end of days? 
Sweet honeyed hams served on a hot plate, 
A feast fit for a king, 
The chief left not a crumb of the baste.  
“Could I get green eggs, 
Sweet corns, 
And yams to chase?” 
His honored guest attempted to efface, 
But appearing bothered, 
His Majesty was tempted to debate. 
“Why not.” 
A defeated nod accompanied by a contemptuous smile displayed. 

Two eyes watched the pair from far far away, 
Blissfully unaware of the dangers lying in wait. 
Swift hand signals share a thousand words to say, 
The plan these strangers prepared is now underway.
