Hoodwinked

Humming an old tune I've heard,

As I lay content in bed.

The lyrics are so true

As they affect me and you.

 

I realize all is not well

As the words meaning

Enters my conscious mind,

And I understand I've been hoaxed.

 

I guess I'm just stupid

For not seeing this sooner.

It was there all along,

But I let myself get hoodwinked.

the mysterious premonition caused by 999. . . a double-check is never extra means. the second thought is highly intensive. . . a kind of a quiet horror. . . Cheers, alex ;))

This one may or not have hoodwinked or hoaxed, but it sure left me perplexed?
