a bored sphinx

A Bored Sphinx

Riddles did do you falter,
No answer given taken true,
Your life the sphinx did alter,
Three legs at set was you.

Will she tear your heart out?
Or will she play you like a rat,
And before any feeble shout,
Snuff you out, instantly like that.

The spoken riddle's speaker all alone,
Seeking that can tell a true lie,
And who's logic does condone,
A sheepish yes, and wish to die.

Maybe sphinx, wait for a preacher,
Let him lecture his "gospel hall",
And then can you proudly feature,
A clerical collar on your trophy wall.
