Reverse Psychology

Riveting stuff, this exploration of the mind Eavesdropping and whispers, hidden sign Valiant efforts to coerce and control Extraction of information on a roll Reactions key when it comes to direction Slowly slowly, I need perfect inflection Every choice surely your selection Preventing unwise choice my intent So much easier if I let you vent You provide all detail I need to acquire Consequently I gently put out the fire Haveago hero I need not be Out of control, not for me Logic dictates your very next move Observation the dance, opportunity the groove Grey matter expert, I play you like a fiddle Yield my way only, no your way, no middle

I better be careful how I comment on this one Dilly, in case I’m saying the complete opposite of what you want me to say, which would be exactly what you want me to do, lol! So I’ll give an uninfluenced comment and say, it’s a real piece of work, cheers David

I loosen up to persuasion after a few G&Ts! Lol! But yeah you certainly describe the methods of reverse psychology quite expertly and all using poetic technique, which in itself is no mean feat! (;

Pretty confident you are one mind that couldn't be manipulated David, of course I'm also only describing that I know what reverse psychology is - I'd never use it ;)
