He Lies In Wait

He lies in wait around the net

His youthful cover stories set

Facebook his favoured habitat

He trawls for prey with whom to chat

His appetite for youth to whet

 

His profile formed from friends who yet

Accept requests but do not vet

From whence they come and care not that

He lies in wait

 

For innocent young girl he’ll sweat

To hoodwink so she fears no threat

In meeting without caveat

At unfamiliar place whereat

He’ll soothe her fears so she’ll not fret

He lies in wait
