The Wolf Grins

come on in

Come on in

open your thoughts from within

I will help you

here’s what you should do

The wolf grins

as you tell him your sins

The wolf drooled

Was she fooled?

So cunning

Why wasn’t she running?

Good or bad?

Happy or sad?

So much coding

those feelings foreboding

She thought the water was safe

The wolf’s plans won’t be foiled

She didn’t realize the water had boiled
