Susan Gentry Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Catfish

They met a few years ago
On a Texas Hold'em site
Cautious to exchange info

Wanted a few hours of fun
Play cards, laughter and flirting
Profiles had lives of their own

Elderly Jack and Lucille
At night young Zac and Camille
Sexy pics no way were real

They soon fell for each other
Poker players saw it all
She was baby, he lover

Zac and Camille by day now
Texted and talked hours on end
Reality blurred somehow

There were bumps along the way
Players witnessed the drama
Jealousy problem they say

Life plans were made together
Generous fake gifts were bought
A house, jewelry, whatever

The worst that could happen did
Camille noticed Zac straying
Uncovered things he had hid

How could he do this to them
Her heart was broken in two
For real now a fake victm

My question to you would be
Who was catfish... catfisher
It started so innocently
