To Serge about V. C.

My dear son, you should forget
About this man without regret,

He is the meanest man on Earth,
I've never met a man who's worse:

As cunning as a hungry fox,
For me, it is a paradox

That long ago he seemed good,
Since then, his ways I understood,

His lies are like a spider's net-
Enormous, treacherous and wet,

And he can bite you like a snake.
Please stay away, for heaven's sake!
