And quite deceived I fell prey. No longer remembering to pray

I was all these adjectives combined

Gullable

Dupable

Unwary

Auxiliary

Unsuspicious

Oblivious

Ignorant

Nescient

The reason I was easily duped

Like an errant rodent ensnared

Quite credulous

A prey quite ingenious

And quite deceived I fell prey

No longer remembering to pray

A message dropped in my mail

The request for dialogue to prevail

The suspicious sense never awaken

The bait was deeply sunken

My reply was in the affirmative

My decision quite decisive

I fell head over heels

In the trap she reveals

And quite deceived I fell prey

No longer remembering to pray

She was one ailing widow

Cancer showed death in the window

Past tense was taught her afresh

To the grave she was almost to refresh

Though huge money was at stake

The wealth was mine just to take

To the needy I was to disburse

Blindly I plugged in the bus

Ready I was to do the bidding

A home for the needy in the mind was building

And quite deceived I fell prey

No longer remembering to pray

All my personal details became public

My bank accounts to them was automatic

I did sign the agreement

And waited fund disbursement

Something went all wrong

I wondered whether my accounts were mine to belong

They were swept as clean as silver

All my money to them did deliver

I cried bitterly

Tears fell freely

And quite deceived I fell prey

No longer remembering to pray

Beware all my friends that care

Don't all you have to share

Their wolves ready to ambush

They will uncloth you in the bush

Guard all you worked so hard

Many do seek your blood

Good advice I do give in honesty

Do not treat it with dishonesty

Once bitten twice shy

Always be careful and wary!

And quite deceived I fell prey

No longer remembering to pray
