“Oh hello there honey,
I was just out with the boys.
I won’t do it again without telling you.”
(We did more than just make noise).
“People of my Country,
I will give you what you want.
For I, like you, am a humble man, all right.”
(Peasants, give me what I want).
“I was stuck in traffic.”
“No, your butt does not look fat.”
“Darling, why would someone ever lie to you?”
(They should like the sound of that).
We think lies will free us,
Like a “get out of jail free.”
And surely we’ll remember them all because
We lie so damn cleverly.
