Poem
There’s a high-class hobo drifter bumming rides throughout the land Grip the Grifter ... watch it society women, don’t shake his hand! If Grip get a hold of your purse money, he ain’t letting go Grip talks fast Grip remembers slow Yesterday to him was a glacial year ago Grip walks with a fake limp Grip give promises like an honest pimp Grifter Grip talk green acres all the time; pie-in-the-sky, milk and honey sunshine Grip sez he gon set you up nicely: steaks and bourbon, satin and lace But, he always seems to need a ten spot from you, and a ride to his other place Grip gon spin it good and long, sing that “hey, my brother” unity song Grip always gon keep the details short, tell you his inside woman was a mole, so he had to abort And the investment money never made it out the safety deposit box womb But, that’s alright, Grip sez: he’s gon double your return with interest, real soon Just front him another Benjamin to help defray the lease rent With a hand held out, Grip vows it's only a temporary cash flow pinch Con has such a peculiar liquidity stench Grip loves froggy jumping into defraud waters Sly licking himself, the Grifter sez with a lewd lip bent and lurid tongue intent: “Every sucker needs a good grifter devil sent”
