Jawbreaker





Deadly as the viper peering from its coil

The poison there is coming to the boil

 Ticking like to time bomb

 The fuse is running short

 On the verge of snapping if it's caught

And all the pressure that's been building up

For all the years it bore the load

The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort

Ready to explode Jawbreaker

 Crouching in the coner

 Wound up as a spring

 Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering

Muscles all contorted

Claws dug in the dirt

Every ounce of fibre on alert
