Some people have no couth or class...how can they just walk into somebodies life that they never met before and ask for money...


Poem Artwork

As a new resident,
All the scammers come out of the woodwork,
One lady in particular made me laugh,
She stopped by as soon as she saw me get home…

She was a black lady of about 45 or so,
She did not need anymore food,
She wanted to know if I was single,
So I told her, no I was not,
But she continued on with how MY money should be spent on her…

Then came the spiel,
She needed diapers for her grand babies,
Could she get a couple of bucks from me,
Then within a few minutes it went to five,
And when I told her I could not do so,
She got a bit agitated & irate,
I told her I don’t even know her,
And I don’t need a lady friend on the side,
She wasn’t going to take me down that road for a ride…

That's just horrible! I'm glad you were able to get rid of her.
Take care, Ed. x

Of course she became irate, there are many who look at you, a white man, believing you own them something. And, if you resist being shook down you are a racist.

Wow!!!! Be careful!!! I would not open my door to strangers!!! This is a crazy world!!! Next time if someone comes to the door, just ask them what they want through the door. Be safe, and don't open it!!!
