O​n goats, serpents, and sheep

Lona Ingwerson

“What was I thinking?” I asked myself.I’d let my goat be gotten.I’d been taken inBy the serpent’s grinAnd now I’m feeling rotten. 

So what do I do, I’m wondering—Just accept the sneaky suggestion?Can I still deny it or is it too lateTo fight, to oppose, to repudiate,To refuse to give in to oppression?
