They fly out to a funeral
A man they hailed a savior
But I read about our prez
Seemed awfully strange behavior
To represent the USA
The leader of the nation
And then snap “selfies” with your phone
Is quite an aberration
The whole world was to listen
Even folks who could not hear
And tributes in sign language
South Africa would share
But who got up to sign the speech?
We all don’t have a clue
And neither did the signer know
The first thing what to do
He moved his hands
And waved his palms
As if he was translating
To anyone who knew the truth
It simply was degrading
Hoaxes abound
In this false world
A sucker born each minute
We laugh out loud
At least at times
When we are not
Caught in it!
A story from St. Louis
Someone had some fun
A lady who was “knocked out”
She pulled a hefty gun
She shot up the assailant
Three shots and maybe four
And so it went the story
He ain’t knocking anymore
It was not a plain story
The lady’s 93
But soon enough we all found out
It was not meant to be
Another hoax created
To make some quirky news
To raise the rating, make a splash
For ratings they could use
And calls to the old ladies
And guys who say they’re cops
We need your help to
Catch a thief
And make sure that he stops
And so they take their info
And credit cards and cash
And fool them into adding to
Their sad unlawful stash
No matter where you stand in life
There’s someone out there too
Who thinks he’s smarter than us all
And much smarter than you
So it may be the man on top
Or just a lowly cheat
It can be a fellow who
You just happened to meet
It is olam hasheker
The only thing that’s true
From politicians
To the trade
Someone’s out for you!
