Criminals Online

By Elton Camp

From the daily volume of spam received
Are more scamsters than can be believed
Why would anyone I’ll never come to see
Want to enter into a business deal with me?

Who would share an abandoned bank account,
Especially if containing some fabulous amount
Then of a sweepstakes I have become a winner
How strange since I didn’t even have to enter

A rich, foreign woman wants me to sponsor her
That I might be a murderer never seems to occur
One found my name as being defrauded, on a list
That he can get my money back he does insist

Since I’ve not been cheated even a single time,
I know for certain that he is a lying ball of slime
And every time any foreign plane does crash
The entire wealthy family, to death, it does dash

If I can just say that I am the very next of kin,
Then a profitable sharing of assets can begin 
To avoid being cheated, just follow sane advice
Don’t open any spam, much less look at it twice
