I Cannot Tell A Lie

5/1/08

Please do not ask me questions, because I cannot tell a lie.
Once I attempted but sweated buckets; now I do not try.
I need to look away, because my eyes dilate crazily,
And from my own lips, the fabrications sound all nasally.

Please do not tell me when there is a surprise birthday party.
Once I kept it secret until I was alone with Marty.
She told me, "My birthday is probably going to be drab".
I said, "Don't forget your shindig! It is going to be fab!"

Please do not do anything illegal while I am around.
Once I caught my best friend liberating puppies from the pound.
If I become a witness, you will surely end up in jail.
But, for what its worth, I promise to send you lots of mail.

So now I guess you can see why I do not have many friends.
After a hurtful truth comes out, it is hard to make amends.
For a time, the liars of the world may be adored by all,
But in the end, they'll be discovered and finally made small.

From One To Twelve

4/30/08

I see it there- it's small, but I'm not blind.
As I rise, it flies from the TV screen.
To murder living things is most unkind,
And the pulverized bug goop is unclean.

I sink back down onto the soft cushion,
Which prompts it to sit back on Clooney's face
It causes quite a lot of distraction,
And now I can't help but begin the chase.

I dart at it, sprinting with super speed,
And crash into the heavy appliance.
I am in pain but refuse to concede,
Or surrender in averse compliance.

I take off one K-Swiss and start running,
My eyes constantly focused on the pest.
I swing and I blunder; it is stunning,
How easily I have become obsessed.

There's a dent in the wall from the impact,
But my mind isn't on any repairs.
As long as the living room is intact,
I'll choose to deal with my current affairs.

I open the hatch to let it outside,
And after a few hours it takes the hint.
With a huge amount of relief I sighed;
Of course, twelve more came inside- stupid bint!
