Notes About The Poem

Beware of Female 'Catfish'

She looks like a cute porcelain doll But she’s really an internet troll With her painted on smile Her cruel actions are vile She resembles a gangster’s old moll Her avatar will try to lure ya Such beauty it will enthrall yer Someone messed with her head and you could end up dead .... then cooked in her huge bunny boiler FOLLOW UP POEM TO 'GONE PHISHING' - TRAWLING THE NET FOR EVIL CATFISH www.poetrysoup.com/poem/gone_phishing_-_trawling_the_net_for_evil_catfish_1027124 5/30/18

You've made a plain and painful reality into a little fun write. You words are right on the money, Jan. I have a drawer full of Soup trolls I've collected over the years (they're never getting out).

It happens every day. I’ve gotten soup mails with women’s emails asking me to contact them off site. (Note; not from real members) the messages are filled with seductive innuendo. I found your piece to be very entertaining Jan. I will heed this cautionary tale. Hugs Rick.

I remember the troll dolls too not that I had them I was never a doll fan, as for trolls they don't just lurk in the shadows and that is the scary thing:-( hugs jan xx

and I will add the warning to beware of male catfish who pretend to be Mr. Nice Guy but whose barbed whiskers sting and burn...those trolls who think they're witty. Score! Jan.

HAHA Jan...battered as in breaded and fried or as in beaten over the head until they get some sense? I prefer the second choice.
