Get Rid

Soon as a shameful scammer appears
Send them off with a clip round the ears
We know what they’re after
Let them do a grafter
As we do through our working years.

One dared try it on little old me
I’m not as daft as he thought I’d be
Put the fool in the place
That was dug with no grace
Where one can prance for eternity.

Scammers must think we’re all mad hatters
That there is nowt in our grey matters
Prove it that they are wrong
In a fine shanty song
So they’ll run off with souls in tatters.

Get rid of scammers quick as you can 
Flush them away, flowing down the pan
To where sun doesn’t shine
Not having a great time
Till they are a good woman or man.

Scum of the earth preying on the vulnerable members of our society, probably never done an honest days work in their sad pathetic lives. Won't be long before they cotton on to using AI and we won't be able to tell the difference . Tom

We all hate scammers, but they are getting cleverer and cleverer... More needs to be done to tackle them... You have done some very clever limericks about the issue here..

Hi Beryl, I enjoyed this string of Limericks. Scammers try their luck, knowing fully well many people are trusting, vulnerable, and greedy. I'm glad that you are up to their tricks :) ~ Best regards // paul
