with an intricately tied bow
paper in a beautiful hue
it makes you excited to look at it
and you wonder
about what is contained
inside
such a striking package
but be very careful
like a perfect rose
there may be thorns
sometimes it is better just to look
just to speculate
just to be curious
like Pandora’s box
although lovely to look at
evil and pestilence was released
when opened
so think carefully
before opening
the package may contain the best imaginable gift
or the wrath of God!
