Tell A Lie!

If you tell a lie, then tell a WHOPPER,

make it a MASSIVE gluey GOBSTOPPER.

Don’t cover your mouth, but let it out,

make it FUNNY and CLEVER

so there’s no doubt!



“Of course, your BUTT ain’t big in that,

an’ YEAH, you’re certainly NOT FAT!

An, I think that cut it looks so COOL!”

(wait till they see HER back at school.)



Don’t Wink or smile, or fidget your feet,

Stand quite still, like you own the street.

A little lie’s not worth the trouble -

so think up something, and make it DOUBLE!



“So sorry mate gotta catch this one

gotta get some shopping for me mum -

see you around - (like HELL I will,)

see ya LATER, n we can CHILL!”



If you tell a lie,

first act it out

in front of the mirror

when THEY are out

Convince YOURSELF

and THEY’LL believe

and please do not

forget to BREATHE!



“Ain’t seen her for at least a week,

she said she had to get some sleep!

Looked so pale, when I went round hers -

I’M LIKE - she has a temperature!

Mean, I only stopped for twenty minutes -

then I got sick - it’s catchin’ INNIT?

Won’t come to class for at least a week.”

(know she’s a truant - the little SNEAK!)



But don’t try ME

your very best friend

cos lies may be where friendship ends

unless you lie

to save MY SKIN

then I’LL forgive

YOU

for your BIG BAD SIN.
