Forked Tongue

a forked-tongued charmer he obviously is, with a gift of gab for reassuring, wooing unsuspecting victims of his, hoodwinking the naive to give offering hard-earned money as gift, as donation for a kind of lay-away plan seven or some sort of star guest reservation for a future six-star suite in heaven; now charged with serious crimes he has been, fraud here, swindling there and embezzlement, he claims as man of God he's good and clean and that as a preacher he's innocent; in all his alleged immoral affairs, he says consent was always a given, invoking rights as one of Eden's heirs to the future six-star suites in heaven.
