Agony and Ecstasy

I was only twelve to eat
the forbidden fruit,
but it was sweet,
sweet like sweets
as my auntie told me at first.

What's funny,
i stranded in the bed,
hungry and thirsty
throughout the day!

I barked like a dog,
and hissed like a snake,
By twisting my bum left and right.

Ha! the day was sweet,
and finally black that made me a fool,
when i scored the empty net.

Oh! what a day,
painful and sweet that poisoned my pipe,
dangerous like a snake?!
