She has a hard, twisted smile
like she’s just taken poison
and if you say
one more word
well, she’ll let some of it leak.
Her jaw, it will slack
and the venom will bubble
oh there’ll be lots of trouble
when she opens up that beak.

How much for the bird thing? -
is she actually zell miller? the venom and poison fit like a wmd-fear induced straight jacket, size 40 irregular. and, the twisted smile is vintage W — ole mr. happiest when waging war.
“The vilest deeds like POISON-weeds
Bloom well in prison-air:
It is only what is good in Man
That wastes and withers there:
Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate
And the Warder is Despair.
— Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), The Ballad of Reading Gaol
