Introduction to the Barracuda

“Don't let her appearance
Fool you!” I was told.
“She can be ruthless
When she wants to be,
Especially if someone
Crosses her path,
Or tries to waste her time
With stupid questions.
She doesn't take kindly
To air-headed idiots.
She is a smart cookie,
And obviously knows
What she is doing,
And what she wants.
You be straight with her
And she will be
Straight with you as well,
But if you try
To feed her
A line of bullshit,
She'll see through it
In a nanosecond,
And is liable to
Bite your head off.
She has a knack
For cutting a man
Down to size
Who gets in her way
And butchering him alive
With her words.
If provoked,
She can and will
Extract blood
With her tongue.
She will cut you to shreds
Without hesitation
If you are anything
Less than candid with her.”
Then her informative assistant
Smiled and said,
“So go on in and try to sell her
On what you've got!”
