FLATTERY
Oh! The sweet-bitter kisses of fictitious and malicious flattery,
Cut faster than the sharpest guillotines, and pierce deeper;
Albeit so alluring to the ears, as honey to the tongue, they beat, at length, chilli's flavour,
When the susceptible flattered feel their real pinch, it's too late for ' No thanks and sorry'!
Oh! The delicious-deadly smooches of the malevolent flattery,
Seem more appetizing than the scrumptious and mouth watering reasoned curry;
Notwithstanding they seduce the gullible flattered to come to their hook's grip,
Alas! It's always to late for remorse and repentance once after a merry go trip!
Oh! The flucky- fatal hugs of the venomous flattery,
Guarantee at first sight of sumptuousness, warmth and luxury,
Entrap the flattered enticing first with a sham show of a coveted lottery,
Alas! It's always too late realize and try to restore one's much squandered treasury!
Thus, let's all bid 'Flattery' in any form an early and cautious adieu,
Else, we will face the fates of the foolish, greedy bees lethal, sugary glue!
