Assayed and found wanting

Assayed and found wanting

 

 I saw a( lady)passing by

and I was very glad she passed

Everything about her was a lie.

Pure deception unsurpassed.

Despite the glances which she cast

 in my direction hoping to.

Snare my attention hold me fast.

She did not know how much I knew

about her somewhat shady past.

She only saw me as a male

who could be fooled from first to last

Her efforts were to no avail.

I can tell gold from common ore

 because I have been fooled before.
