How My Household Works

Before you use me in any manner,
To bolster and advantage your lifestyle.
With a reference to have other folks believe,
They can call to get an endorsement for you...
From me.
You better call to remind me who you are.
FIRST!
Especially if we met just briefly.
And I impressed you,
As someone who could be tricked and fooled.

Since there has been many disappointed,
Who believed I was easy to deceive.
It must be the way my sincerity reeks.

And if people are calling me,
To supply you a free testimony.
I know you don't know me at all!
Since I see the value in scratching backs.
With a quench of my thirst.
And a payment expected to treat as dessert.
That's how I keep on the lights.
And managed to nibbled on what I like at nights.
AND how my household works.
If I am expected to assist 'your' life with 'perks'.

Someone,
Like you...
Might wish to consider this first!
With a clear understanding of my well-being.
If you seek to use me to promote your 'scene'.

'I'm sorry.
You have the wrong number.
I know of no one by that name.
It's okay!
There has been no inconvenience.'
