Seems Legit

one from the too good to be true shelf?

By BrenPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

got a phone call from Nigeria

but that just the half of it

the caller said he was a distant uncle

i dunno it seemed legit

he said we had another uncle

on his mother’s fathers side

who had one day without a word

up and inconveniently died

this is word for word how it transpired

so you know i’m not talking shit

he used vernacular that could have been truthful

it kinda seemed legit

they needed my credit card details

so they could transfer his estate

it had to be done very quickly

no hindrances, no delays, no late

i emailed them all my details

i had nothing left to omit

what could possibly go wrong

it all seems so legit

    So legit! They probably spelled everything correctly and used proper grammar. Any day now, you’ll be rich. 🤑
