An offer too good to be true continued

2026.05.08
A year ago, in May 2025, I wrote:
"Recently, for the first time,
Some one approached me
Suggested to put my poems on Facebook,
Where there would be more viewers to read my poems.
He even promised to do all the work,
I just sit back and relax
Enjoy the rewards being a poet.
I thanked him but declining his offer.
He went further asking me to allow him,
To get all my poems to be printed in a book...."

Yes, he did indeed. Sometimes later on,
I also proudly wrote "I have everything,
And nothing was plenty enough for me"
Yes, JC. Do you still remember that?
What your kind and generous offer was?
Now, after nearly one year later,
Somehow, I have changed my mind and decided,
It was too good to be true,
But after serious thinking about it,
I have everything and willing to share them.
However, there is some terms and conditions.
A few variation and quite interesting request.
They will be yours if you like.
All of them and every piece of it.
Shall discuss the details when we meet.
That is if we meet. Will we?
