The Big Red Lady

It turns out there’s a big red lady who decides what comes and goes.
She takes a look at you or me and in a nanosecond knows
exactly what the deal is.
Whatever you may feel is

not especially of interest to the dame.
She preys on other sorts of game.
Neither sweet nor sour,
she will wield her power

with a quite remarkably cool head,
notwithstanding her impassioned red,
and not according to what justice you think wise;
but in adhering to her own proclivities, and size,

she may just get you off the hook.
You cannot fathom from her look
what outcome is in store.

They say she used to drop some hints, but she’s not hinting any more.
