A chapter in the book People

Faux Fred and Phony Tony

by Bill Schott



Faux Fred and Phony Tony

lied about their alimony

to the lawyer of their exes

from a phone in Fred's new Lexus



An unconvinced divorce attorney

took the long cross-country journey

to discover if they'd lied

about the funds now alibied



He found them both at Trader Vic's

with rented women and gold bricks

the women were both nearly bare

the gold was merely sitting there



The lawyer cleared his throat out loud

which silenced the entire crowd

of party goers dancing 'round

a pin drop was the only sound



"Your 'used-to-be's' are sadly lacking

the agreed financial backing

that makes them provided for

every day forevermore"



Phony Tony smiled and said

"Can't you see that me and Fred

have no roof above our heads

All we have are these few bricks

to build a house that isn't sticks



Report our state of destitution

and join us in this prostitution"

The lawyer made the call and lied

that further funds would be denied 

then grabbed a seat twixt gold and gals

and made a toast to his new pals
