(We all have a dark side, hemmed in by the light,

But controlled, it is useful, your dark slice of night)

 

It would be a mistake, to pick a fight with me,

I've had enough practice to know where to hit,

Only grace and experience make me act honourably,

Still, crack on if you must, but prepare for some shit.

 

I don't have the patience to withstand hyperbole,

All the false fluff was replaced with true grit, 

To say I'm, "Not bad," is a misuse of litotes,

More like passive by choice, because I have the wit.

 

So choose, but be careful to choose very carefully,

Like a rattling snake, my intent's implicit,

Only grace and experience make me act honourably,

So prepare for some shit 'cos I know where to hit.

 

Passive by choice, aggressive by nature,

One is ever the other ones foil,

The venomous bite, ever present a feature,

Wrapped up in each passive, controlling coil.
