by Ken W Simpson
The most reputable man in town
achieved a certain renown
through his personable personality
perspicacious use of publicity
and subtle use of bribery
by providing inducements
conditional warranties
considerations and possibilities
to profit handsomely
and weep realistically
when required
with sincerity and compassion
false humility and audacity
to members of the public
who found him to be honourable
decent and trustworthy.
