...and yes, I know his Achilles heel

Mid-air, underwater, outer-space
He was the “static” in place
Unshaken, unruffled, unperturbed
On a couch, that  could take the blissful snores, unheard

What could  spring  the sleeping anaconda  awake?
Or, was he some human-species ,  born out of the placid lake?
Everyone has a vulnerable point
So must he, figuring that out, took me to the tipping point

Then “Eureka!”  I realized, he was the number man;
If I could purloin  his credit,  swipe it with élan
Won’t it send him skywards like a rocketing  pheasant?
 To find the missing tally, he would be on the hunt
The amount however meagre, to which tantamounts 
I had discovered his Achilles heel
When they are no longer asleep ,
It is the accounting tenacity in every spiel!
