The Con Man

He has always hungered for money

Throughout his life journey

By hook or by crook

Nothing is wrong in his book.

 

He presents himself real well

His ulterior motives are difficult to tell

Once he knows your Achilles’ heel

He exploits your frailty at will.

 

He is adept at misdirecting suspicion

And playing on your emotion

For him getting something for nothing

Is easier than you think.

 

Promises he makes aplenty

But his promises all end up empty

Swindling is his strong suit

You won’t nail him with any lawsuit.

 

Some call him a trickster

Or a conniving master

To me he is an artist

A con man who swindles with such ease.
