Fugazi Au - Fool's Gold Contest
Don't fall in love with a compulsive gambler
Every vow made, every promise told is all fake
It's fugazi, it's fool's gold
Don't give your heart to a blackjack kamikaze
He'll deal you nothing but empty words
that are all fake, all fugazi
A U, don't be a fool
Why are you digging for gold with the wrong tool?
Don't let fugazi orgasms make a fool out of you
Don't ally yourself with a poker-face, casino card-carrying Nazi
He'll burn you with his feckless ways --- just a fake dream sold
It's all fugazi, it's all fool's gold
A U, don't be a fool
Stop building your hopes on a house of cards
Don't let fugazi gold ropes make a fool out of you
Don't let your life get tied down on the real bad side of town
Only to find him walking around with his head in the chest
of a woman with fake breasts
Then you'll know that it was all fugazi: after the wedding bells toll,
and you're given a band of fool's gold
This poem was inspired by the talented poetess, Paloma P.
She liked using the word "fugazi" in one of her poems
I thought she made use of the word rather well
"Fugazi Au" is being submitted to the Fool's Gold contest on 11/19/16
