Inspired by the first labor of Hercules.

Wait she's just bait.
No she's not.
She a trap.

A lion in disguise,
with murder in her eyes.
She kills everyone who tries,
until facing someone wise.
That is when she dies.
Do not listen to the lies.
Immortal she is not,
But look at what she's wrought.
Bones of many men,
offered once again.
He came with a mighty club,
brought it down from above.
He choked her with his arm,
bringing so much harm.
She ended up quite dead.
He tried to skin her with great dread.
His ego this task fed.
