A smile and a chuckle <br />Greet the manipulator <br />Trying to strike a deal <br /> <br />He shrugs his shoulders <br />Pretends to abandon it <br />We wish him goodbye <br /> <br />He learnt his lesson <br />He will not repeat that stunt <br />At least we hope so<br /><br />Sandra Martyres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-manipulator-senryu/
