Hot And Cold (2) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

deceptive like a snake
at least it crawls
and announces itself crooked
and dangerous
humankind
they walk straight
and most die to be beautiful
with the single aim
to be liked to do what they want
many are dangerous
for instance,
they put on their best
when what they actually want to do
is to lie nude with their bloody sweethearts!

Hot and Cold
A woman who my mother knows
Came in and took off all her clothes.
Said I, not being very old,
'By golly gosh, you must be cold! '
'No, no! ' she cried. 'Indeed I'm not!
I'm feeling devilishly hot! '
Roald Dahl
