watch out
for the smooth talker
persuasive charmer
virgil's a guard dog
his type of vigilance
makes a villain's day
online romance
fraught with danger and crims
broken heart empty wallet
something for nothing
the scammer's favourite ploy
everything has a price
over the moon?
prepare for a rough landing
on planet disaster

you are not wrong
it's the age of big brother
a dehumanised world

So much to think about in your words - makes the reader vigilant
ReplyDeleteHaiku-ish captioning! Great idea,, nicely done. My hat's off.
ReplyDeleteYes, everything has a price.
ReplyDeleteWell that has frightened us from opening the door, turning on our computers or answering the phone. Yesterday despite having broadband connected already I had a continuous succession of recorded phone calls from a chinese girl saying my connection would be cut off unless etc.,etc. Not the best way to achieve a sale!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perceptive dialogue between illustration and verse! I cannot say which is my favorite. I like the wit and build through the final "dehumanised world." It really is that bad out there.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I especially chuckled at the first one. These are great. I needed some lightness after writing my depressing summary.
ReplyDeleteI love all these fun captions. Vigilance, indeed :-)
ReplyDeleteThese were wonderful, thanks for the comic relief.
ReplyDeleteI’d prefer the old-fashioned way of meeting someone, getting to know them, and I’d still on guard!
ReplyDeleteThis is a clever way of dramatizing through poetry and illustration. I like the juxtaposition of human and serious issues.
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever and witty. Love that dog and those fish!
