A Bigger Mousetrap

07 November 2005


Just because they go
shopping for high heels
Does not mean all of the world
was their own to step forth

Who was fair and whom did share
for there were two ends to a length of string
Where a reply to a conversation
meant the course was to conserve

Nevertheless it takes two to say “hello”
one in forward motion and the other one back
This was how it had always been
and nothing would ever change that

Just because shoes have laces
or a thin ankle strap
Being sexy and all was
after all just a bigger mousetrap


“The snare is laid for him in the ground,
and a trap for him in the way.”
Job 18: 10 KJV
