Scorpion Sting
I hide in the dark.
With a sting, be alert.
I can vanish in the light.
I hunt in the night.
I can draw some blood.
The anguish is just enough.
I am manipulative.
Don’t touch, with temptation.
I know that I’m kinda creepy.
At night it’s time to feed.
Don’t hesitate to attack.
I could be brown or black.
You're all unforgiven in the end.
Through haunting methods, I will feed again.
I’m just a bug with pitchers.
All have you for dinner.
Don’t underestimate me.
I live through the rain.
I can crawl here and there.
With a sting, I am everywhere.
Your flesh is a bite to eat.
I will be next to your feet.
I live underground.
I will appear with no sound.

With eyes that pierce every soul/
Gleaming secrets untold/
Dragons may reign the endless skies/
But on land, scorpions arise/
Symbols deep, ancient and bold/
In desert lands, where stories unfold/
Fearless and mighty/
They stand in might/
Through moonlit nights, through the darkness plight/
Their bravery, strength, and will to strive/
In scorching sands, they come alive/
Unmatched, unyielding, they survive/
A testament to the force of life/
Oh, scorpions, kings of the land/
With armored grace, and stinging hand/
In your silent beauty, I find my delight/
In your shadowed world/
I rise.../

In lands where shadows stretch and linger long/
There dwell a man, both high and mighty strong/
With eyes that pierced the very soul's disguise/
A shocking sight, yet golden heart he prized/
His name was whispered with a hint of dread/
A solitary King, whose path he tread/
Like scorpions that roam, alone and bold/
No fear of evil, his own heart of gold/
He bowed to none, not Gods nor men's decree/
His spirit wild and fierce, forever free/
In reclusive might, he carved his throne/
A King unmatched, strength and will alone/
The Great Scorpion King, a legend told/
Of might and valor, in a heart of gold/
His piercing eyes, a tale of power sung/
A ruler crowned, yet never bound or clung/

beware of arachnids of the worst type
I speak of scorpions, this is no hype
they have a serious sting and venom too
found in deserts and grasslands, they make you blue
a cousin of spiders, ticks, and the tiny mite
this mini lobster’s tricks are worse than dynamite
beware my child of this dangerous predator so fine
His whip tail will sting and kill you if you get out of line

Sammy Scorpion decided to go straight
I will not sting anymore.
His daddy said “Just wait!”
Sammy was resolved to not hurt any being.
Watching the animals while they were water skiing.
How is it going? Asked Dad who had been around.
Great! I have not stung anything square or round.
Just then an annoying pest came sneaking up.
Sammy took a bite and swallowed him way up.
That’s not stinging! He said in his defense.
His father rolled his eyes, words he did not mince.

A fat scorpion crawls towards the snake
And the shrike bird is watching from afar
To pounce on both of them
At an amazing speed
So that both of them
shall be his supper

Only Last week with his Holy Bible,
I had to challenge Sam’s loaded pistol,
The whole spectacle indescribable
Thoughts of “Who did in him new thoughts instill?
This could yield cops’ visit and his arrest
Some dark cell his new place of ordered rest
If with it Sam appeared in a luncheon
He would not escape the first truncheon…
Now, I judge him Maverick Champion
With his loaded shot gun A Scorpion,
Though, his being with it might be protective,
To be snooping around him Detective
With possible orders to make shameful
What The Anxious User had thought gainful.

When someone walks in
The bedroom, after your life -
She walks into your life, that is
Then has authority to walk in
Wherever you are, even on "Easter "
That moment is RESURRECTION 101
And every level of right living after
This Easter, Wendolene walked in
Exactly when death or injury closed in
The table next to my bed, with books
Hid a scorpion poised in attack
She saw it, my angle hid this "enemy"
Knocking it in two, I had to believe
In resurrection for me, love, He saved me

I was born
Under a bad sign
The sign of the scorpion
In late October
In the year of the Goat
I did my chart once
I had five stars
In Scorpio
Sun, Rising Star, Mars,
Jupiter and Pluto
Moon in Aeries
A very Scorpion signs
Filled with passion, fire
And furry
The woman who did my chart
Said that it was a very powerful sign
And that I would accomplish great things
According to western astrologers
A Scorpio-Gemini relationship
Is a very challenging thing
But when it works
It can be one of the most
Profound relationships
According to Chinese Astrology
The goat and pig
Are the best astrological combo
The best that there can be
In the end
Does it matter
What sign I was born under?
All that matters
Is that I met and married
The woman of my dreams
And met my fate
On that date.

Did you hear about my pet scorpion
Who was a world chess champion
If he doesn't like a chess move you're planning to do
He will put the stinger to you
So in every match he competed
He would remain undefeated
You may ask why I would keep such a pet
I haven't figured that out yet
