Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye
Crooked characters everywhere
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye
All buyers must be aware
There are a lot of crooked characters
Waiting to steal your money out there.
Be aware of all types of scammers,
Furthermore, it needs to be told
We become much more vulnerable
As we all get old.
Some will promise a fortune.
Others will hook you on love
And after you have given them your money
Or they have broken your heart,
They will move on, leaving you in the dark.
By the time you realise, you will be worlds apart
Most are very clever and will leave you high and dry,
So, part not with your money and indeed not your heart,
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye,
There are lots of crooked characters
That have turned dishonesty into a fine art.
Till next time,
Calvin

I appreciate how plainly this is said. There’s strength in choosing clarity over ornament when the message matters.
So true. And it's not just random people either, places like Walmart allow third party sellers but mix it right in with all their other products. I once bought my son a Halloween costume from Walmart.... Thinking it was FROM Walmart. Turns out, it was. Third party seller and was so poorly made. I didn't even know they allowed them. Seems every site that does is ruined in my opinion. .I try and be real careful buying anything because I think of money as time and my time isn't worth most of the nonsense for sale. Great story. Good luck in this challenge!
So very true I have been scammed three times on FB buying things that never arrive. It’s horrible. I felt such a fool. This poem is so true, and well written 🦋🦋🦋🏆
Absolutely true. Thanks for the warning, Calvin
Excellent take on the challenge, and you might succeed with this one
