CRIME PAYS

Save us from those scientists and lawyers

Who take up more and more of our time

With make believe/once upon a time stories

That border on being a crime!

They make a very good living

By raising doubts foisted upon us

More geared to taking than giving -

Po-faced and plausible as they con us.

Thanks for the kind comment Po. It's pleasing to think our posts and
comments might provide some ease and comfort for others whilst
not losing sight of the main object of poetry: getting people thinking
...in and out of the box.

Ah...I could have written "Deadpan" but it wouldn't have worked as
well. The expression I did use is an old one - a diminutive of "poker face<d>". With respect, it's been around
even longer than you, Po ! ?

A comment he would write

Yep....He couldn't resist MC....
