The History Of A Lie

[tman70]

The History of a Lie

First somebody told It,

Then the room wouldn’t hold It,

So the busy tongues rolled It

Till they got It outside;

Then the crowd came across It,

And never once lost It,

But tossed It and tossed It,

Till It grew long and wide.

This lie brought forth others,

Evil sisters and,brothers,

And fathers and mothers,

A terrible crew,

As headlong they hurried,

The people they flurried

And troubled and worried,

As lies always do

So, evil-boded,

This monstrous lie goaded,

Till at last It exploded,

In sin and shame.

But from mud and from mire

The pieces flew higher,

‘Till they hit the sad liar,

And killed his good name.
