she had a keen eye
for spotting a charlatan
his dapper suit
and smug confidence
reeked
when he moved in
his wandering fingers
received a startling greeting
after her powerful rump
busted them against the door knob
wincing and retreating
he looked up at her
she fixed him with an icy and biting stare
opened the door
and left him
battered and broken
