The Con Man
November 20, 2016
I claimed the man the town boasted of
He was blue-eyd and blonde haired
One of Hitler's spawn
Never at a loss for words
That man captivated my attention
There couldn't be lips thinner than his
A mild-temperament that was never pushed
So respected by all
He desired what he came for
Before I was drained more
I pawned him away

This piece is based off of "Buffalo Bill's" by E.E. Cummings. The con man is someone who everyone in the town admires and enjoys very much, and the person narrating takes interest in him. Towards the end the narrator realizes that the con man is draining them of their wealth, and love.
