Premium Member Riverboat Gambler

He plied the Mississippi River on the paddle wheeler 'Dandy Dame'.
Gamblin' was his profession and three-card monte was his game.
He became very creative at palmin' that elusive ace of spades.
Such dexterity and sleight of hand he had practiced for decades!

He embarked in Saint Louis for a cruise to the town of New Orleans.
On his arm hung one of his gaudily dressed bordello 'queens'!
He wore diamond rings on each finger and impeccably tailored suits,
A homburg hat, pearl studs, gold-tipped cane and alligator boots!

He toted a concealed derringer just in the event there was trouble,
And he took a table near the door so he could lam on the double!
He ordered Jack Daniels bourbon for the dudes he was soon to con,
And sized up the naive and hapless victims who dared to take him on!

The gambler let others win a hand or so to make them feel at ease.
His shill closely watched as the gambler, his moment was to seize!
His winnin's piled up as bettors tried to locate the shiftin' ace.
Losers dropped out of the game and other suckers took their place!

One astute monte player saw the scam and called the gambler's hand.
He drew his forty-fours, chairs toppled and folks fled to beat the band!
The gambler drew his rod but he met his God, blood oozin' on the floor!
His sobbin' 'queen' clasped him to her breast to know his love no more!

Man

4/8/17


Across the land
There was a man
Whose journey had just began
And due to a decision that was bad
He lost all that he ever had
While feeling his most prized plan
Slip through the palm of his hand
Faster than sand

He was briefly sad and mad
But then became glad
When he was able to understand
What was done wrong, and how he can
Reach the goal and help his clan

It wouldn't take a couple hundred grand
Or to be sponsored by a well known brand

Nearby a dam
His skills and knowledge started to expand

While starting to scan the entire span
Many insects scrammed

As well as a ram and a lamb
Above a stream filled with crab and clam


Far away parked in a lot was a sedan
And minivan

Nearby you could see an area full of water where many people swam
Whether they jumped in, walked or ran

Traffic jams
And braked being tapped or slammed


People only out to scam
With shams

Some content looking for gems and gold with or without a pan
And others only concerned with glam
Or famous people's and their own instagram

Miserable Thieves, You Are Being Exposed!

I received a letter from Toronto,Canada...
stating that I had won the De-Lotto North
American Sweepstakes in the amount
of $ 150,000.00 US dollars! Oh, I went bananas!

So I called the office line with much surprise:
1-416-939-8265 and a gentlman,
with an accent, answered the phone;
I asked him if the winning was real,
and he replied," Of course it is! "
I thought to myself, " It sounds like a scam! '
 
This morning, my bank returned
 the forfeit check to me,
with a return fee of ten dollars;
and I was furious and mad
to have fallen for that scam!
But the good news is:
they didn't get any of the money,
the tax amount of $2,850!
Cringe your teeth,
you miserable thieves:
you are being exposed
by someone who's fearless and outraged!

Today, I have sent an e-mail
to the fakecheck.org in Albany,
telling them about the scam letter...
alerting the other would-be-victims anywhere,
so they don't go singing to their bank;
I hate to see them cheated out of their money! 

These unscrupulous people, stealing your identity, 
should be persecuted to the full exent of the Law,
and when they're caught, I like to be in the judy's row:
I'll stare at their deceitful faces and read the verdict loudly!

Mr. Greg Peters And Brian McDonald,
whether your names are real...
and wherever you are right now:
remember, you can defraud others...not me!

Anthology is a scam and we are all victims!

Well, here is the truth for you all, 
since you had no idea you are a 
part of one big scam called Poetry Soup
which charges you for the anthology
just so you can see your own poem,
so that means don't be upset because
you were not accepted into Anthology that
has close to a 1000 poets in it and even more poems,
they take everything and anything and pretend
like they had to read all of the works and then decide,
it is a nonsense and be happy that you did not get accepted!
My poem got accepted and i cant read it, because they want me to buy 
the book just so i can see my poem in it.
Now this whole place could be a scam,
because if they can scam us through Anthology
that means they do not give three s about what we write!
Diverse Voices is a scam, Poetry soup is a scam,
the whole internet is a scam, and the only way 
you will be able to accept this fact is to stop posting here,
and for over 20 years this scam has been taking our poetry
in exchange for profit of which we get 0. How is this poem for a change?
Truth hurts that is why nobody wants to hear it.
DIVERSE VOICES MY ASS!

Mimic

This is for whoever it's for!! You know
who you are ; )

Be yourself
& not another
as it's unbecoming
to be a mock
These copying cats
have lost their tails
while telling tales
like an op
These imitations
need to stop
for what do you get
from tracing lines?
Can't you develop
your own pictures
instead of trying
to copy mine?
I think you're lost
within the lines
who knew you'd
lose your sense
of self
Where has your 
pride gone little kitten
where's the lion
within yourself?
I think you're lyin
to yourself
if you think you 
can be just like
another
Dare to be different 
all on your own
we're unique
from one another 
There's only one you
on the face of earth
so love yourself
until the end
No one can replace
who you're born to be
so portraying another
is like a sin
It's time for facades 
to meet their end
so one can see
its true face
Stop all the aping
& be original
instead of 
mirroring another
in bad taste 
Piracy goes down
to a sunken place
so I think it best
to tread lightly
I call to whom it
pertains so if it
rings bells
please don't ignore
like scam likely

Billionaires hunker down in their Queenstown bunker lairs

Let’s pester Uncle Fester

After dafter Luxon 

Pushed the button

Welcomed every glutton

To the isles of mutton


Theme of the meme

Team New Zealand 

It does seem

No longer a

Stronger eclectic sceptic


Spanked by the rank 

Septic tank stream

Peptic Pyramid scheme


Grand slam.. glam sham scam

Desperate Dan or Tangerine tan plan

God damn..American dream


Our rancour on social media

Danker seedier leaders crimes 

Hanker for every greedier 

Rhymes with banker


Sleazier golden geezer visas 

Accept any offers to

Fill their many coffers


Brokery.. jiggery pokery 

Immunity without impunity 

To the unity of community

Profanity of their vanity


Insanity of their depravity

Clarity...disparity not charity

Tramples ample wokery


Our amazing landscape

Instead becomes their escape

Coined..after all they’ve purloined

Jolly jape…no red tape


Not being rash

But it is a rash

Debunk the gunk & funk

Forsaking the avarice 

Taking the pis*

Bliss abyss monk


Crass..brash..flash git

S***k a chunk of cash

From their balderdash stash

Making..a complete hash of it


Fake elite on the take

As they see fit

Billionaire boys ploys annoys

Replete yet still cheat 

Have your cake and eat it


Our government just envoys

For a small fee..sweet

Deploys the swanky..w**ky

Yankee all about me

Time to flee plea


They lit the fire

Liar & denier

Dug the quagmire


Piety for impropriety

Moolah Messiah ruler

High flyer pariah

Crueler society


Who when the s**t 

Does hit the fan

No fibs..his nibs gets

First dibs on cribs


Outlier masterplan zen..know 

Then where to go


Can always hunker down

In a spick & span den

Their Queenstown bunker


Amen

Premium Member Forgiveness At Work

Midst our covenant of trust and fidelity
I succumbed to luring temptation’s delight
As a faith-traitor, flirting with world’s enmity
Oblivious of my vow to love GOD fully right. 
       Guilty was I of betraying my Redeemer 
       Grieving Him, I confessed as an evil conniver…
       Faithful*, He pardoned, drawing me to Him closer.
      
Meanwhile, in the trial court I stood as scam-victim  
Facing the culprits, my trusted friends, in pain’s grim 
Since they fooled our contract by their deceitful whim.
       Struggling hard to accept their “sorry” with pity
       I agonized bearing load of my justice-plight 
       Thus, I prayed to be a true “forgiveness-giver”
       Grateful to God that I received His grace to the brim! 

*1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

TikTok Scammers

In the digital landscape of TikTok, scammers operate stealthily, strategically identifying their targets within vulnerable demographics—specifically, older Generation X users. Each profile is analyzed meticulously, revealing weaknesses that can be exploited. The anticipation builds as the scammer initiates contact, contemplating who will be ensnared next.

“Will she be my next target?” he reflects, as the initial engagement elicits a promising response: “Sure, count me in.” This raises a question of accountability in a game that resembles Russian roulette, fraught with risks on both sides.

The scammer initiates the conversation with manipulative charm: “Greetings, gorgeous! What’s your name? Where are you from? I have seen the signs of opportunity.” 

His subsequent messages reveal a formulaic script designed to elicit emotional investment: “Could you be the one I’ve been searching for? The crucial piece in my heart’s puzzle?” When moments of silence ensue, he prompts, “Hello? Are you still there? Let’s continue our discussion.”

The language employed is rife with metaphor: “You shine like a star, yet I hold your wings.” The transition to a more secure messaging platform, such as WhatsApp, is an intentional maneuver aimed at bypassing TikTok's monitoring mechanisms. He nonchalantly suggests exchanging contact information, self-identifying with playful anonymity as “lover, lover.”

The nature of the communication implies a predatory mindset: “Lingerie or satin? To me, it makes no difference.” The scam artist masquerades as a fabricated identity—a “Nigerian king”—exemplifying the archetype of a rogue operator in the online ecosystem. The shared traits among these scammers highlight a systematic approach, appealing to the fleeting desires of unsuspecting individuals seeking connection.

Currently, he manages multiple admirers simultaneously, each vying for attention in this digital charade. The fluctuations of interaction underscore a transactional view of affection, framed as an authoritarian relationship—“Oh, what a night! Oh, what a dictator.” 

**Advisory Note:** Elderly Generation X users must exercise heightened vigilance against online impostors. With economic instability as a backdrop, they remain prime targets for unscrupulous actors operating in the digital realm.
