What would we be, he asked <br />without this tool of tools? <br />The freedom to be masked <br />it does extend to fools. <br /> <br />I like your hair that way, <br />this soup is simply great. <br />What do you mean, I'm gay? <br />I say 'No Worries, Mate'. <br /> <br />A lie is like a child, <br />a sheer necessity. <br />Preposterous or mild, <br />I'll tell you honestly. <br /> <br />What would we do without <br />the power of deceit? <br />It's never just about <br />the challenges we meet. <br /> <br />Society would end <br />without those ready lies, <br />but, if you are my friend <br />a different rule applies. <br /> <br />Are you the one to trust, <br />to keep my back from harm? <br />I'm certain that you must <br />have more than just plain charm.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lies-damn-lies/
