Never Kid a Kidder
You think I am dim, but I am actually very bright
Never Kid a Kidder
You can smile and play your game
you can talk like you know the score
but I have walked that road before
and I see the truth behind your eyes
You think I will swallow your sugar words
and not taste the steel underneath
you think I will miss the way you stand
ready to turn before the storm hits
I grew up hearing half truths and lies
learning how to read a room in a breath
watching hands as much as mouths
counting what‘s missing not what was said
The world teaches hard if you listen
I learned the rules before I could write
to take what’s mine and guard it well
and know when the cards are marked
So keep your tricks for someone else
I can smell a bluff before you blink
and I will call it with nothing in my hand
just the look that says I know
Never kid a kidder
we write the ending before you start
and I have already written yours

I've been writing poetry since the age of fourteen. With pen in hand, I wander through realms unseen. The pen holds power; ink reveals hidden thoughts. A poet may speak truth or weave a tale. You decide. Let pen and ink capture your mind❤️

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.

Very nice, Marie. I have been out of action for the last couple of days, so I have some catching up to do. If I don't get to all your work, it is not because I don't want to.
