I Don’t Get It

Why do people stretch the truth

To a point where it will surely snap?

I swear, as a child, if I’d done suchtricks

My rear would have felt the razor strap.

 

And why should these liars think others soshallow

That they cannot see past their rants?

If only that time-ridden adage was true,

We could tell by the sudden fire in theirpants.

 

Luckily, most people are of good nature,

Trusting and forthright, noble and kind,

But also naive, often prone to fall victim

To swindlers whose moral conscience isblind.

 

Must always be vigilant. Must be aware

Of the villains and varmints lurking about

Who will lie and deceive without worry orcare

And leave the world reeling in doubt.

 

Here is the answer, my best advice,

Which I offer with wisdom and couth.

You won’t have to remember about lies youmight tell

If you always tell the truth.
