Betrayal

Stick your tail back beneath your pants,

And I can see your horns beneath your hat.

You’ve stuck some shoes over your hooves,

But I know better than that.


You’ve covered your wings with a backpack,

And loosened some gloves to hide your claws.

But I won’t be fooled today,

Not like the last time I saw your gaping maw.


You won’t deceive me this time,

Nor beguile, fool, or trick.

I know what lurks beneath your disguise,

A monster’s form, cruel and thick.

I was inspired by a piece of trash floating in the river. I named it Sam.
