On Lying - today's poem

On Lying

Though not the best witness

should this ever come to trial

I’m not the untrustworthiest

when paid and promised for lies

 

Twice convicted of perjuries

both times I did my time in style

in luxury, golfing penitentiaries

I met handicap and won parole

 

So if you ask I will testify

-when my account gets money

So, count on me to lie again

if I may avoid a real prison

 

There are things worse than lies

-like truths that help no one else
