Fool Me Once

Wow me; mister
have I kept save my fortune
in the itchy palms of a trickster? 
who lives  away in Neptune? 

Oh - such a tender talent, so sweet
He'd bath his promises in sugar
so that I fell for his tingling tweet 
and then stick at me his venomous tongue of a cobra

Ah. I made a common thriftman
become a huge success
whilst I made me,  the opposite man
What is this terrible sense? 

I see the fool he's made of me
I wonder what beginning is there at this end
