Double double cross

narrative verse

 

 

 

Double double cross.

 

She was convinced that he believed

that she was very,very rich

 and that the plan she had conceived.

Would go ahead without a hitch.

She’d satisfy her appetite

 for luxuries at his expense.

 Her future now was looking bright

and she was filled with confidence.

But what the lady did not know.

He too engaged in false pretence,

 his seeming wealth was all top show.

Appearances took precedence.

Two tricksters both of whom must fail

A scheming minx a charming cad

 who act their parts to no avail

There are no pickings to be had.

Each hoist upon their own petard.

Their cunning plans have gone awry.

They have received their just reward

as tricksters must eventually.

Well I really liked this one, a very fun read
The truth is always best you sleep better
A lie will always come back and bite you on the a*s, that's what my late father used to say and I agree
Nice pen enjoyed Ray { Not a Poet }

Nice one !

A good way of expressing the unforgivable fates of those who try to kidd with love.
It was an extremely perusable read.
