Lie`s Style

Rating: 3.4


'Lies have short legs.'
But they wear
posh silky tights
and prefer to...lie
(instead of running
or aiming too high) .

Made me smile and laugh...love the first line(sounds like folklore or something a mother would say to her daughter) and the whole concept is deliciously funny and insightful. Love it! love Donall Donall

What a clever little piece of verse. Could almost be an old english proverb. Like this, it certainly does have legs! HG: -) xx

I love this one, Onelia! Your playful juggling with the idea of lying - so many meanings hinted at! And the final effect light as a souffle, ironic and funny.

...the words of this concise down-to-the-point poem rendering an apt psychoscopic tool for the metaphysical detection in each case of who's a liar and who's not...
