You would suspect she was blind
if you didn't smell the rat
Her tactile groping,
compliment invoking
ego stroking
was really an attempt to steal
rob you blind
This thief with sight
She wants your life
since Hers is so laden in strife
Going by the monogram of N.V.
She ogles your trifles
She begs for your leftovers
She pines for your lover
She loves your waste
Like a thief in the night
She'll ruin your life
since Hers is so laden in strife
Her name was N.V.
She takes your stories
She moves her head like you
She boasts of your assets
She asserts your stories are moving
Posing as a friendly Knight
She begs alms for her plight
while wielding a knife
Her name was N.V.
Seemingly in-kind
yet the rabbits out of the hat-
Her fruitless hoping
Her gun still smoking
Her empty air choking
looking for a free meal
while stabbing you from behind
Do not breathe the air of N.V. -
whose full name was Noxious Venom-
and watch your back!
"En garde", alert to Her sneak attack.
