PLAYING THE PLAYER <\/p>\n

A friend request came from this gal,
\nThat is what they hoped I’d believe,
\nBut sorry pal, I’m just not so dumb,
\nIf it is me you are trying to deceive.<\/p>\n

So long in the social networks game,
\nI know all the tricks that are played,
\nYou think you pulled one over on me,
\nBut, bud, it’s you who has been made.<\/p>\n

I am not fooled by any of your lies,
\nYou are really just wasting your time,
\nBut just keep it up, annoy me more,
\nI’ll report you’re committing a crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
