Scam Poem by Robert Sheridan

They sing the sirens song
Don’t want you to go off
too hurriedly – they want
to sling it and bespatter –
They’ve come from the
unlikely to the likely – if
you turn your back, they
are like a Bengal Tiger;
They try to motivate you
with a derivation pattern;
If you had any brains, you
would go away hastily,
even if it were in an
improvised manner –
crawl, walk, or run,
don’t pass go, they’ve
already got your 200
plus dollars.
