Illusion's Plot, Gordian Knot
When it’s designed to bewilder
illusion’s plot gets scowls.
He thinks his tales should have thrilled her
Gordian knot, three fouls.
he’s out; his jokes disintegrate.
But he laughs ‘cause she took the bait.
Illusion’s plot -
Gordian knot.
Embarrassed, her face is scarlet;
His fun, guaranteed to upset.
Next, his emotional vortex -
maintaining hoax is fun,
another ploy from his cortex.
Explaining jokester’s done.
He’d do well to apologize
regret? he doesn’t recognize.
Maintaining hoax,
explaining jokes,
his final plunge into debate
finds her goodbye from this stalemate.
First impression, fallacious, ma’am.
there is no truth within.
Intentional evasion, sham,
a lie, forsooth, lie’s twin.
Victim, often just curious,
falls for that which is spurious,
there is no truth
a lie, forsooth.
Endeavor meant to tantalize
gets a cold shoulder and dies.
