it is pouring out of me!

A window of opportunity

Smooth as silk,
soft as butter,
the words poured out,
of that snake's mouth.
I had heard things similar before,
catch words,
catch phrases,
that were sure to entice,
even the wisest of birds,
but i am not a bird
and so they had no effect on me.
Not in what they said,
but in what they did not say,
what they did not know,
this steered me clear.
How many times,
how many different ways,
have i heard this presentation.
I have been caught once,
maybe twice,
in snares much more elaborately laid.
This one did not interest me,
I have heard it before.
I was bored.
