In the land of fine wine and gourmet delight,
A tale unfolded in the dead of night.
A French dame, with flair and style so grand,
Fell prey to a scheme most unplanned.
"Bonjour" said the message, oh what a sight
From "Brad Pitt’s mother," filled with delight.
"My son needs someone like you," she professed,
And so began this peculiar quest.
"Brad" sent her messages, oh so sweet,
Romantic musings that made her heart beat.
Marry me, my dear, we’re meant to be
And she swooned, thinking, "Oh my Luck"
Eighteen months of digital romance,
With fake Brad Pitt leading the dance.
A marriage proposal, how could she resist?
Her heart, it fluttered, her spirits were kissed.
But alas, behind the screen, no Hollywood star,
Just a crafty scammer, gone too far.
$850,000 vanished, poof, just like that,
Leaving our heroine feeling quite flat.
So here’s a lesson, dear folks, take heed,
Not every message is what it may seem.
For in the world of AI and digital delight,
Scammers lurk, waiting to strike.
Trust but verify, and guard your heart,
Don’t let fake Brad Pitts tear you apart.
For the real deal is out there, just wait and see,
But don’t fall for scams, not even for "thee."
And oh, I won’t be surprised if a Punjabi kudi
from Canada claims she’s in love with Shah Rukh Khan,
Because honestly, aren’t we all, even if it's a scam?

Belle of the Bayou
Bad move, cher. Not just the slip of her kitten heel on the rainy February cobblestones in the Fourth Ward. She got caught snooping. Detective Deleon clucked and strutted like a rooster in his rush to clear her from the scene, waving cigar smoke to and fro as he gesticulated amid the thick air of the speak easy. An experienced crime reporter, Marie knew better than to let the coppers catch her on the wrong side of the line, but curiosity had gotten the better of her.

I heard this news, poor woman. I like how you told the story in verse, well done!
Great job again! My ex mother in law got scammed for 65k after her husband passed away. It's so sad we all tried to warn her!
