ALRIGHT! SO I LIED!

About rewinding the video. Halfway,
a half-truth. About my weight at the DMV, I fudged
a FrAcTion. To the IRS about donations. I gave a little
less than the box reveals. To the health insurance, I smoke
screened a habit or two. To my dentist, the gloss
ing of daily flossing (like he can't tell, so why do they ask?)
That scrumptious pasta salad I brought and you thought
was homade? I can't get over the quality stuff
a corner Deli can spoon from a tub. Alright! So I fibbed,
deceived by omission or by outright and glib.
Just because you can't wholly believe what I say,
doesn't mean I won't also speak truth any day.
