Supper - Mirah

Let me introduce myself

My villainy is rare

A perirenal scent enough

Perhaps even debonair

Costumed in brown and pink

A lantern at my tail

Just like any other gadabout

Till should I chance to encounter a snail

Ah but I’m a churlish one

With this chloroform

Before I banquet

This deed I must, I must perform

I vanquish you with kisses

A dubious caress

But in truth it is a poison

Which into your mantle I press

And so a profound immobility seizes you

And just one more procedure before I’ll be eating you

Liquefaction is a skill which I possess

Oh how I love a good soup, straight from the shell is best
