The Charlatan

The Charlatan In honesty young Sir, I have good reason to doubt, When you tell me “My word is my bond.” I fear your insistent asseveration is but a scam, With hope to take my chattels and abscond. You talk in a manner of self-confidence, It would be easy to succumb to your plan. A charlatan, a dishonest schemer, a cheat, Not as you assert, “the epitome of an altruistic man” I have testimony to your wicked villainy, From a Woman of good character and trust. It is self-evident, positively axiomatic, You are but a common thief; I feel only disgust. for Roberts Triple A Challenge contest
