Free Sample at the Deli

When things seem too clean, too good to be true.
Or advertised as free.
There's probably a con man waiting in the wings.
Things can get soiled in a city heartbeat.

Never take a free sample at Dahmer's deli
or hitch a ride from a clean-looking stranger.
You may end up on Bundy's back roads. 
You may not make it home in time for dinner. 
Just remember nothing is for free.
