A Cautionary Tale

A Cautionary Tale

Swatting the empty air before me,

Just another wandering soul

Nursing his tremens.

I’m plagued by a feverish imagination 

Beset by angry bees.

I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous

And do some considerable damage

If I am released.

Add to that a passing infatuation with words

And this becomes a volatile combination,

Excitetable and hair-triggered.

I am not to be trusted.

The pen and the sword and all that:

All well and truely noted.

But should that sword be weilded

Evil may ensue

And I am no longer responsible.

That holds true for

The corollary was well.
