Amazing at first,
But what you can't see
Is that the weapon is a fully-able knife.
Or maybe you do;
Or maybe you know;
That there will be hell to pay.

Yet the sword is charming,
And you say,
"So what do I know?"
You think that but throw the thought away.

And just a couple months later
You remember the pain the sword did cause,
Leaving you to wonder
Why you ever fell for that empty-minded knave.
