Monster Mask

Why do you smile so incredulously
At the design of my monstrosity?
Yet if you looked but a little closer
Mon Cherie, My Dear, You'd know there is
A man you must fear standing next to you.
His look is noble, yet evil intent
Stands ready to pounce the minute those blue's
Player's commence jazz bent to heaven! Twos
And threes they do come to their reverent
Task, that they may claim such great achievement,
Bask in a glory that is not well earned;
So am I hunted, and easily spurned.
So look into my eyes, I ask again,
Who is the monster that hunts in your den?
