Bamboozle Proof

I have learned many lessons after being bamboozled.
And quick I have become in assessing authenticity.
I'm not saying I am bamboozle proof.
But I know I am not easily duped these days either.
And I have identified truth as a good friend.

Jumping through hoops AND showing respect for others,
Is a joke for those who observe my willingness...
To humble-ize myself publicly.
However...I am not a complete idiot.
Trust me!

I will do what I'll do for anyone to prove I am genuine.
And can forget it as if it never happened or took place.
With an erasing of one's face from memory.
That's what a good hoodwinking does,
To awaken those naïve and innocent.
