Scam Me Not

Thanks for being my friend
That is very kind of you
My mother is very sick
And I need some help from you

That is very sad to hear
Hope she feel better soon
But it is not much I can do
Because I barely even know you

I only need a little bit
Not much at all
Just enough to get her medicine
Cause I have no money at all

How much are you asking for
And where do you live

I live in Africa, where it is very very poor
And I will take what you can give

I done heard this a million times before
It's nothing I can do
You won't get away scammimg me
So go to your next stooge
