She sits and waits for your arrival
While contemplating her survival
A timepiece dangles from her hand
Another day, so carefully planned
Many before you, now mere ashes
Simply because she bats her lashes
And crosses a leg, shows some skin
Yes, this, is where her wiles begin
So easily fooled, you common man
Though try you must, you never can
Free yourself from her dangerous devices
At what cost, and will you pay such prices?
Think twice, before you dare respond
Else wind up like the others, far beyond
