Lie, Lie, I Thought I'd Die...

Good Day World!

A poem to start your week.

A thought for the day.

A tidbit to chew on
and then throw away!



Why Lie?

if death were nigh
wouldn't you lie?
and say pigs can fly?
or aspargus could cry?
that unicorns only have one eye?
That the Pope gets high?
That green is the color of the sky?
and you don't know why
you're no tough guy
acting all spry
so don't even imply
that you have an alibi
to justify
why you'd be eager to die
like a samurai
to simply satisfy
and testify
that you don't lie?
