Warning

Fire and water

Don't mix very well

Try to burn me

And I'll make your life hell.

There's not much keeping me from you

There's only a dam

But mess with me and it's gone,

Splash! Here I am!

I'll overtake you, just wait

And watch this river flow

You'll get swept away screaming

By my furious undertow.

As the freezing water fills your lungs and

Chills you to the bone

You'll call out for a savior

But find that you're alone.

You kick and scream and struggle

And try to defy the tide

But waves crash all around you,

There's no where you can hide.

You'll choke and sputter and gasp for air

But I fear it is too late

The waterfall's not far from here

I guess we'll have to wait.

The rapid current quickens its pace

You look around but there's no land in sight

The only thing you see is that five-hundred foot drop

Suddenly you're filled with fright.

Your life flashes before your eyes

And you draw one last staggering breath

You close your eyes and wait

For your inevitable death.

You hear the roaring water-

The sound of my vengeful laughter

But I decide, that's enough,

I've got what I was after.

Suddenly you open your eyes wide

Feeling a new and renewed hope

Just in time you see your lifeline-

A twisted, vine-like rope.

So I guess, just for this once,

Your fate has been surpassed,

But you only get one break;

That chance was your last.

And finally, this frightful tale

Has come to an end

But a tale is not complete without

The message it must send.

And my message to you is this-

No long, exquisite art,

Just a few wise words:

Don't toy with my heart.
