Beware!

A Senryu about Flatterers

Beware!                                      (Senryu)

Beware, or be scammed,

Why are there such flatterers?

Lies, we give money...

Author's Note

Flatterers are people who lie to us to get advantage.

For example, someone says "You are smart". You are happy, and you give them money cause they praised you. But in reality, they are lying and just got free money.

I would like to know the reason you wrote this. You are absolutely right, sometimes people lie to gain something, it happens in every relationship. But sometimes we don't realize it, and believe me it is not always our fault. Some people can be very persuasive. thank you for sharing. i like the way how you are always so honest with your words!

Exactly! They are called flatters. So be aware who you can trust.
Thanks for the lovely review Beren!

But the ones you really have to worry about aren’t the ones that are bad at it. It’s the flattery that you don’t notice at first that will get you.
Although some of the scams are laughably bad now. I’m probably just encouraging them but sometimes it’s too much fun not to pretend to play along for a bit.

You are right, but children should be aware though. Thanks for the review, Green.

Oops! :) I think you meant "flatterers", but it's 3 syllables.
Also Beware "of", is better than "from."

[Martiya Daman]

Better now? :)

[Dylan Macadham]

Much Better! :)

Flatterers are indeed.

May I sell you a job? You've already been sold on a purpose... (we can pretend it's anti flattery)

[Martiya Daman]

That is a good example, David.
Thanks for the review

[Martiya Daman]

No? .

[Martiya Daman]

I was just acknowledging your review, no threat intended.
