Hoodwinking

I'm as honest as the day is long which means I'm more honest during the longer days of summer So if I tell you something in the winter Take it with a grain of salt There's a good chance I'm hoodwinking you If you ask me directly, of course I will lie In the middle of the summertime I'll be forced to divulge all my past exploits in lurid detail For I am unable to tell a lie In the spring and fall it's a fifty-fifty proposition Maybe I'm lying, maybe I'm not! Have I totally confused you? I need to go lie down! © Jack Ellison 2015

Dragons are great at hoodwinking or, telling things their own way. To help break Dragon, Grandpa Troll and I, devised a plan, we say We measured Dragon from stem to stern. Statng it was for a article on how he grows. Asking Dragon about an incident that had occured. Suddenly, we both exclaimed: his nose had grown! Not believing us, we ask it again. Oh My! We said, it grew again! We'd just finished reading the story of pinnochio. Worried about his nose, he told it right! We were clever I'm told.
