It is like a double-edged knife,
That can cut a loaf into sizes of five,
A bad wife in times of strife,
A apple that all must someday sample,
A must for all at no cost,
Sometimes disgust when a dear one is lost,
Even the worst is yet to burst,
Cos’ you’re in a cloud of dust,
Thus, be just to pay the high-cost,
He can be terrific if you’re a trick,
More catastrophic when you’re at life’s peak,
The authentic are even made weak,
Even the weak become sicker at the point of her kick,
He can tear like a bear,
Or even come near like a tamed-deer,
Beware and take care he might just be near,
Fear brings him near, so cast away your cares,
For he might be dear if your ways are clear.
