She’s always nice
always sweet
always polite
never unkind
never mean
but if you push
things too far
with her
by being too
unkind or mean
watch out
take cover
you will arouse
the dragoness
hidden in
her depths
you will see
it in her eyes
a glaring flash
like lightning
feel it in your
mind and
your marrow
shock and
sudden terror
and you will rue
the day you
aroused it.
Bob Boyd
