Fraud


 



One thing's never out of style --
con artists with lots of guile.
Now that we have all gone bust
they still prey upon our trust.
Need to sell a gold knick-knack?
They will promise you a stack,
take your gold, then disappear;
they excel in the bum steer.
Got a mortgage you can't fix?
They have got a bag of tricks
that they say will save the day,
as they steal your home away.
On the street you will be sent,
where they'll sell you a cheap tent.
Credit cards with interest rates
deadly as the Motel Bates.
Hidden fees down at the bank
that soon surface, smelling rank.
Jobs that promise long-term work
fly away like Captain Kirk.
And your so-called pension plan
isn't worth an old tin can.
Life insurance policies
are a cold and distant tease.
Losing weight, virility,
pique our gullibility.
Nostrums sell like griddle cakes,
even when they're labeled fakes.
Just like every tree has bark,
every scam has got its mark.
With the bad times now increasing,
Lord deliver us from fleecing!
