Beware

A wolf in sheeps clothing Not always obvious to the eye Cunning and inventive Cleverly disguised No sharp gnarly teeth showing Nor evil grin The fluffy white exterior Portrays saintly without sin The cute soft sheeps clothing Conceals a hidden lie Look closely and see The deceit in a wolfs eyes!

oh I think the same wolf has been baring her teeth at me too along with her buddy who acts as an echo. Never seen such hypocrisy in my life yet they try to look as pure as the driven snow. If she has any moral compass I think its broken and is pointing in the wrong direction! Write on Deb hugs Jan xx

Hey Jan…..this isn't about anyone on soup to be honest….It was about something my husband and i watched on t.v a doco about trades people ripping people off when working on their homes ….being all lovely and accomodating face to face and people trusting them then doing shoddy work and ripping them off!!

A fair warning to all, Deb. Those who conceal deceit are passive aggressive --wolves in sheep's clothing as you say. Something special about your poems, always.
