The Hoax Poem by RIC BASTASA

when someone emails you
that he has 3 million pounds
and he is giving
all of it to you,

will you believe him?

you ask me
if i believe him too?

alright, i may believe him
and give my name
and address and telephone number
my status, my other
particulars
even my credit card number

and you will say
OH MY GOD
how gullible can i be!

well, it does not really
matter
all these, my name, my address
and telephone number
and other particulars
even my credit card number
and ATM PIN

all these
are fakes too
exactly just like him
and his 3 million pounds

you see,
i was also not born yesterday
