He threw his coat over the puddle
And that was enough to befuddle
But even with every brain cell
Scrambled, I could see and smell
A rat and a rascal from ten paces away
It took more than muddy coat to lead me astray
So next time you see a shady grin
Just remember good manners aren’t a sin
But look deeper at the man’s intent
Before you fall for the first genteel gent
