(TiptonHalfordDowning)

Catch the play now, eye to eye

Don't let chances pass you by

Always someone at your back

Biding their time for attack



Check for decoys, stay sharp edged

Double-crossers get your head

Carpet-baggers bluff and strike

Kiss of Judas, spider like



Waiting like jackals to sneak up and trick you

Wolves in sheeps clothing, slow death in consoling

Lurking in shadows, they pounce least expected

When you come to, they'll have gone right through you



Tricksters, jilters play their game

Sleight-of-handers, all the same

Masquerader in his lair

Wants to tangle in your hair
