Hypnotist

I listened as you spoke Gums flapping in the breeze Words slipping off the tongue Expressed with so much ease Your verbal gymnastics Deserve a perfect ten I ask you one question You repeat it all again Your words enchant me I listen while you sell Some kind of hypnosis I respond to your spell I bow to your persuasion Your rythm my blues I want what you're selling This thing I won't use As I open my checkbook The spell starts to break My brain starts working When my hand starts to shake

So clever, love the rhyme and flow. I'm starting at the end and it may take weeks, but I want to read all of your rhyme ... CayCay
