With disinterest she said, "Okay then,
Come along, my dinner mustn't wait.
I think I will use you to lure my food.
Caterpillars are really good bait."
"Aren't you going to help me?" Shuni asked,
Prompting Hashima to get right in his face.
"Don't question me, you worthless twerp!
Your words are out of place!"
"I'm sorry," Shuni replied in a fearful whisper,
His eyes fixed nervously on the ground.
Hashima said, "That's better, my slave.
Now remember--not one more sound!"
