In my day a “mark” was a rube
Easily taken advantage of, a “boob”
Someone trusting, innocent and nice
Easily fleeced, therefore enticed
Into a game of wits, in which he’d loose
Everything he owned, someone obtuse
To the workings of those making a living
Off the hard work of others willing
To lift a helping hand to those in need
Making it easy to plan and proceed
In stealing everything they owned
By those whose skills were so honed
I think you may be the only person other than me who knows the meaning of the word!
Well, I’m in good company to be sure. It’s how I know the word, how it was used. What can I say?!
I admire how you always find inspiration for the daily post.
Why thank you so much. It gets the brain cells working quite often as the word may be difficult to use. Sometimes it is easier than others. lol
