A Little White Lie

Distinguished author
A virtuoso I am
I’m superior
Within all of the fine arts
But now I exaggerate

Remember the late Don Adams as Maxwell Smart? He would always mendaciously brag about past accomplishments. When the listener replied, "I find that hard to believe", Max would answer "Would you believe.....?" This fine tanka reminded me of that fine actor from "Get Smart".
