Misleading Lexis

Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Monday, April 26,2010, @ 9: 50 PM





Came here so naive

Me they want to deceive

No longer in them, I believe



What's up Lucifer's shirtsleeve?

Not a moment's reprieve

Treachery they conceive



Who is left to trust?

Satisfaction is there must

Their hearts filled with lust



Pursuing a harem

Liars spewing venom

Words came from their rectum



Clever not for I they're not fooling

Here instead I am cooling

Their endeavor will need retooling



Sipping cheap wine from a plastic glass

Snakes they are in the grass

Lowbrow having no class



I the clever sleuth

I recognize a half-truth

So asinine and uncouth



Thinking they have me figured out

Their words are lacking clout

For I know what it's all about



Moist is the dog's snout

Sincere their words I doubt

Severe will be the fallout



As the player starts to croon

As soldiers march in a platoon

As the dog's bark at the moon



As your reality turns to a cartoon

As your fans no longer after you swoon

As your life, they start to lampoon



As your rains turn to a typhoon

As your lies balloon

The music you'll face real soon



When you no longer carry a tune

When your plum turns to a prune

When your winter comes in June



Fleeing will the fat-rat and so-called tycoon

From you conduct you are no longer immune

Your joy will become a great big misfortune
