3 Word Wednesday - Allege
Conceal Propose
Theme Thursday -
cement
He is quick to act
A Godfather’s natural take
Will impose his will
immediately
Let it be known
Don’t mess around with me!
Not to conceal his odds
The underlings had better
understand
His purpose in life
Is to be all-powerful
Be it in strength
Or in finance
Work and perform with me!
Propose whatever
to whet his ego
Hard hearted he’s no fool
Refrain from small talk
Never to allege against anyone within
Lest he gets suspicious of
one’s agenda
If ever it comes to that
Then pick your choice
To be buried in cement
Either in a shallow grave
Or in a used oil-drum
It’s morbid
I sense betrayal in seconds!

Conceal Propose) and
