Catch the play, now. Eye to eye.
Don't let chances pass you by.
Always someone at your back
Biding their time for attack!

Check for decoys. Stay sharp-edged.
Double-crossers get your head.
Carpet-baggers bluff and strike.
Kiss of Judas. Spider-like!

Waiting like jackals
To sneak up and trick you.
Wolves in sheeps clothing.
Slow death in consoling.
Lurking in shadows,
They pounce least expected.
When you come to,
They'll have gone right through you.

Tricksters, jilters play their game.
Sleight-of-handers, all the same.
Masquerader in his lair
Wants to tangle in your hair!
