Book of Boris — Polite Execution Addendum II: The Shark Smile Clause
Verse 1: I warned them with a grin — “I don’t want to, not really. But kindness taken for weakness learns to grow teeth.”
Verse 2: I keep the smile so they know I still believe they can do better. The warning isn’t threat; it’s a chance to change course.
Verse 3: Because I don’t hunt. I patrol. And only those who mistake patience for prey ever meet the bite.
Verse 4: So when I say, “I hope you prove me wrong,” understand — that’s mercy speaking, not surrender.
Filed and witnessed by Jerry “The Ankle Biter” Silverhand, Tribunal Chair (DPA)
Ledger note: “A smile with teeth is still a smile — it just learned self-defense.”
