Year
Nuanced faculties
a heightened sixth sense always
uncluttered clear mind
power of total focus
apt response time on alert
Showing fraud the door
never falling for a scam
they saw me coming
or should I say I saw them
coming, miles away and left
Auto-pilot whiff
of phoney card shark ruses
one might later rue
listen to your clever voice
that whispers - “It’s a setup”
Small print lure’s wily
crooked phrases bleed accounts
of cash and lodgement
tangled schemes inveigle us
aftermath of shock endures
Eyes well peeled are best
they pick up subterfuge on
sight for the most part
subtle telltale signs afoot
refuse to be taken in

Unfortunately it's a necessity to be vigilant about
so many different situations such as bank and
credit cards, shredding papers, protecting bank
accounts, etc. When my daughter and son-in-law
had a temporary wedding account, it was
breached and someone spent $750 from my
daughter's account. We don't know if their
account was compromised at their home after
her bridal shower or in a store somewhere. The
bank investigated and my daughter & son-in-law
got their money back. Anyway, your advice in
these superb tankas is a helpful message for
honest people. Great work, M. ~
