A baited tongue is twisted
A native hand is scorned
When ears that beg to listen
Turn evidence to lore
This tale of smoke and mirrors
Where snakes are friend and foe
Caused gentlemen to fear her
And dolls to toss their stones
Sirens bode fates unwelcome
Advised to quit the chore
Before such pleas were harkened
Escaped the dragon's roar
Use everything against her
As done in actions past
Though rule has changed, 'tis simple
For her worst, you must take her best
