Medusa's Folly

I shine my shield of tinted glass
To reflect your serpents locks and tresses
I didn't used to cover my ass
Until I felt your stone caresses

No statue of rock, just good strong wood
And wit to protect from barb and sling
I'll kiss the shield and make it good
No snakes will get into anything

Turn your others into stone
Those fools who cannot stay
Their urge to look into your face
Because I don't choose to play

You play the game, a smooth voiced siren
To Venus' flytrap you beckon
But I've no tongue to taste your drug
I'll stay away I reckon
