#PoetryFriday - Snake Charmer

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?
