He slithered up to the bar
oozing romantic juices on the floor
He cast a sneaky eye
to where his wife might be
and looked around
for a warm dark place
to curl up in.
His eyes were black as coal
and his long, lithe body
slowly moved to the closest rabbit he could find.
Would she succumb to him
Or
In a flash of insight
look at me
and see the lover
behind the aging bull?
