False Charmers

Though con people use it for to mask their guile People do seem to warm to the one who can smile But the genuine smilers are becoming rare Of stories of charming con-men we are all too aware Like the gullible widow who lives on our street She did think her insurance agent was rather sweet She invested in his bogus company in quite a big way At least ten thousand dollars those who know her do say Though he was not an insurance agent at all For the charm in his smile she was one who did fall His type are abundant they are everywhere There are millions of them in the big World out there False charmers are many they never were few But what I'm telling you here is not anything new.
