How nice it would have been if people whose livelihoods depended on migrant workers had thought to ask a follow-up question or two when the swindlers blew through town and promised them everything for nothing. #Rooked #CriticalThinkingRequired
The man is a swindler
a liar—a thief
not to be trusted
with silk, silver or gold
A rogue—the worst kind

should be guarded
tend your son’s mind
Trust him at your peril
you’ll find yourself #rooked
of all you hold dear
keep the man at a distance
and all you love near

“I gave him the money. He said he’d be right back.”
“You’ve been here 2 hours. I’m afraid you’ve been #rooked.” #vss365
#vss365 I fell into a poker game while in Vegas for a conference. I'm not bad, but I'm not good at poker. I figured I'd go in, probably lose a few bucks, maybe come out even, maybe get lucky and win a few. But these guys are good at what they do. I was #rooked by pros, hence the second mortgage.
