Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Rhyme

The Pinocchio Syndrome

She had a nose for sniffing out well-hid lies
from any boastful cyber Romeo,
who used Photoshop to mask their disguise

She'd get a twitch, a wiggle in her nose
when the words on the screen didn't seem quite right
Telling her there was something fishy about the prose

So she asked one such fake lover man,
what was his can't miss, can't resist pick-up line
He said, lady your ship has finally come to land

She said, it appears you carry quite a load in your cargo pants,
and you certainly talk with a pirate heart
But it's obvious that you're no Clark Gable or Cary Grant

You shoulda told me the truth when you had the chance
Nah, you're just a daddy long-legged liar,
because your pen got no rhythm and your words can't dance

Alexis Y. December 19, 2016 at 5:26 PM Hi Freddie, It's hard enough knowing whether a "real" life relationship is legit or not. You can see them everyday in the flesh and they do what you express in this write. (fill your head with lies and deceit).With that being said as your skillfully wrote a cyberspace relationship would difficult to have. I enjoyed the read my friend. A without a doubt seven: -) Alexis
