Tacit Camouflage

Some gals are like a Venus flytrap plant.
This wasn't Nature's devious design.
Nor is it just because some women can't
give up the fruit that's budding on their vine.
They simply simulate the ones that can.
As such, a guy who's fly will take the bait
regardless of a gal's hair trigger plan.
And all the man trap has to do is wait.
It doesn't matter whether men just smile
at some coquette who smugly starts to text.
What if she's granted access down an aisle,
before she scowls - as if she had been vexed
by sexists with insidious intent?
Deft mimicry is hard to circumvent.

-- Frank De Canio
