LION AND SPLINTER

LION AND SPLINTER

Find a fix,
mortar and brick,
fine tuned fingers,
charlatans and
almighty elixirs

exercise the pitch
above the audible
fangs upon the gullible
reaching the rich
by bait and switch

Boil turmoil
linger like snake oil
hinder the blinker
with lion and splinter

across the lands,
the endless caravans.
