Lickety Split
Looking for money the easiest way -
Impossibly shameless, he searched for his prey.
Cleverly creeping, he’d spy a poor dolt,
Kill them with kindness and gain sympathy.
Embezzlement was his great specialty -
Trickery too, and the talent to bolt!
Yes, when he fled, he gave them a jolt.
Slimy was he, being slickety-slick,
Prospering from every poor soul he duped.
Lickety split, he was quicker than quick.
In a lurch he would leave them. How low he stooped!
Then off he’d be running, fresh patsies to pick.
