Too good to be true?

tetrameter sonnet

 

 

Too good to be true.

 

Sometimes it’s wise to hesitate

And choose to look before you leap.

There is no point in tempting fate.

You may just find the price too steep.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch
there never was nor will there be

So pay attention to your hunch.

Examine very carefully.

What lies behind the proffered deal

The hidden hooks to catch you out

What do the honeyed words conceal?

They will be hooks without a doubt.

You are far too wise to believe.

The scams which fool the more naïve.
