Analysis of Hide To Seek Trick And Fool
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
People finding they've been picked.
People now find they've been tricked.
Seem as if this done addicts.
To love it.
People used as fools to dupe.
Disbelieve this could be true.
Yet continue to be tools.
Thinking one day they will be,
Rewarded for their loyalty.
But each minute of time to watch.
Betrayal they receive nonstop.
With treason.
Betrayal and treason.
To sell their souls and vacant minds,
With betrayal and treason.
For exchanging to do evil upon themselves!
And believed successful.
Exchanging their souls to do evil deeds.
With betrayal and treason.
Exchanging their souls to do evil deeds.
Yet one who betrays in evil ways,
Is not thought these days portraying to be...
The demon.
Or The Big Bad Wolf.
Yet one who betrays in evil ways,
Is not thought these days portraying to be...
The demon.
Or The Big Bad Wolf.
Hiding to seek.
Trick and fool.
That Big Bad Wolf.
Hiding to seek.
Trick and fool.
More fools to dupe.
To trick and fool!
That Big Bad Wolf.
Disguised and hiding to trick a fool.
That Big Bad Wolf.
In hiding disguised to trick a fool!
