One does not
simply bite
the hand
that feeds.
For, it’s The One
that beckons us
with treats..
that very often
is The One
with sleights..
to pull all sorts of
wooly tricks
over our eyes.

Take for example
B.F. Skinner’s classic!
Called The Carrot
and The Stick.
If you’re a good girl
you may take a bite..
but if you’re bad
this stick will boink you
on the head, alright?
