Usually when someone says:
“And that’s no lie”,
it must be a lie.
Why else would they deny that it’s a lie,
unless it is a lie?
Or else they’ve been lying about everything else.
People telling the truth don’t have to qualify
that what they say is true,
unless some of what they say isn’t true.
Or that might not be true at all.
And that’s no lie.
People claim they want the truth,
but,
truth be told,
fantasy films always outsell documentaries.
“Avatar” grossed $2,782,300,000.
“Who Killed the Electric Car?”: $1,678,874.
Sadly,
“To Tell the Truth” is an outdated TV game show.
And no longer a way of life.
Which is why telling the truth isn’t listed
on the resumes of our country’s leaders.
Or if it is,
they lied about it.
Tennessee Williams: *
The only thing worse than a liar
is a liar that’s also a hypocrite!
Winston Churchill: *
A lie gets halfway around the world
before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
Dean Burkey:
I’m not accusing you of lying.
I’m just pointing out areas of artistic license
where you fictionalized the truth.
Mark Twain: *
It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction.
Fiction has to make sense.
Josh Billings: *
There are some people so addicted to exaggeration
that they can’t tell the truth without lying.
