being buttered up

when  someone wants
something
from you
they usually begin by buttering
you up.
oh my.
have you lost weight?
are you working out,
i've never seen you looking so
young and fit.
new love in your life?
tell me your secret.
i want what you're having,
they say, chuckling,
with a big smile.
then they ask you for a ride
to the airport
the next morning
at 5 a.m.
