<\/p>\n
Sics his brute dog, Sly Boots does, and he smiles
\nwhen all the children scream and run about.
\nMails the bill, Sly Boots does, and he grins
\nwhen he gets both the goods and money back.
\nSly Boots, the killer, spreads his webs and whiles,
\nand when the fly is trapped, oh, how he’ll shout.
\nSly Boots, the temptress, spreads her other things
\nand captures those whose needs assuage her lack.<\/p>\n
Oh, so many traps to keep us worried.
\nOh, so many ways to pin a lie.
\nOh, so little need for all the poison.
\nSo much need for living life unhurried.<\/p>\n
Sly Boots, Sly Boots, please, let your anger die.
\nIts nicer out here with us in the sun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
