L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

A Word To the Wise

Beware being alone in strange places
Or, In the middle of unfamiliar faces,
Know when you are in a danger zone
Be sure you never go there alone.

Beware the stranger in the night
Who asks for help to ease his plight,
The ease for him may be your purse
Or, need I say, something much worse?
