A Sold Choice

Snakes in the grass,

Eyes popped up for my popcorn,

They infest it when I am gone,

So, I pop up my eyes for their attention.

They sell me corn, so I  make my popcorn again.

They spoil it when I don't eat it.

When they let me choose,

I decide to loose,

Noisy mice race for my loses.

When they sell a house,

They choose me to buy a wooden one.

Only not to reveal, to conceal my only choice.

When I let termites and mice decide,

I become hungry, homeless, and destitute.

When they sell me meat,

They let hyenas and coyotes decide,

Bones choose to wait for your hearty tears.

Easily! I take a bait,

Until it's too late to decide,

Irrelevant is my opinion, 

Obsolete is my decision.

Their lies are sweet for my emotions,

Believing in their choices over my choice.
