FRIENDLESS



See the lonely sad friend
All alone by nasty choice
Who schemes between scams
Lives beyond friendless poise

A man born into a world of scams
Had a father adept at flim-flam.
He lived by what he was taught
Until the day he was caught
By police who out-flimflammed his scam....

Modern Governance


Vote-bank thoughts and woes of dissent
Leave them lost mumbling  excuses
Making quick bucks their time well-spent
Leaving behind SCAMS in excess.

Canis Lupus the Dufus

He did battle with three little hams
was embroiled in the Riding Hood scams
now slower of gait
he simply must wait
for a visit from Mary’s sweet lambs

Never put all eggs in just one basket, 
Do not invest in just one company; 
If the enterprise is unsuccessful, 
You will surely lose all of your money.

Do not ever risk everything at once, 
There are many scams that use internet; 
Choose the legit trades that work legally, 
Never put all eggs in just one basket....

Before Valentines Day
romance scams are on the rise.
Beware of a stranger talking sweet,
invading your cyber world.
Flattery will get you talking,
texting soul secrets and desires.
Phishing is his only business,
and after you are truly hooked
he'll reel in your bank account!

PS: He's really not a sheikh from Dubai!

Mad is the man
Who schemes and scams


Desire now plots
True empty lots


Be shrewd and kind
Find peace of mind


Do not delay
Walk middle way


Ego and pride
Fatal joyride


Poise follows choice
Utter firm voice


All in due time
See the end rhyme


Prepare your grace
To greet each face


Such is the way
Survive and play

Who said I'm not dead?
Maybe its in your head
Maybe my sickness is your disease
Put to ease, bed rest and all

Doctor said to get control
Teacher said police were back
Lets put myth to fact

I use your products, no problem
Passed through the scams
No big deal
So what is real?
You can't blame it on the drugs
We've been tripping a long time
Admit it

Lets puff the dragon
Pass the mystic 
Eclipse the wave
Winning all we can save...

The iPhone 4 I bought today
Just set me back a buck.
It’s last year’s model, quite passé
And so the deal was struck.

I found out that it needs a case
So it won’t fall and break,
But I was really thrown off-base
When I heard – no mistake – 

The purple case I liked (with teal)
Was priced at fifty clams!
What started as a groovy deal
Soon wore the scent of scams.

They say that nothing comes for free
And that is not a lie,
For stores that make no profit
Are in very short supply....

better count your fingers
truly he's a con man
for some are probably missing
after you shook his hand

young or old he shows no mercy
it's a crying shame
taking a honest man's hard earned money
in his never ending thieving game

so tired of his scams
trying to steal my dime
I keep holding to my wallet
cause that devil is always working overtime

 just never seems to have enough
always taking  more than he needs
the white collar con man
there's no limits to his greed...
