We need to return to those days of yesteryear when a man's word was his bond,
Believability and Truthfulness By Franklin Price 10/6/2018 Believability and Truthfulness Are often not the same Politicians, very often, Think they're only just a name What happened to those good old days, When a man's word was his bond? What could it hurt to stretch the truth From coast to coast and then beyond? So far, in this century, Washington has shown the way When truth does not produce for them They try believable to say Lately that's not working They've stretched them both until they've popped It's time to tell the truth again And this playing games is stopped If you,ve followed their example, Lied for your party's hope You have cursed your reputation Should have your mouth washed out with soap I believe the politicians And the truthful words they say This stanza writ with fingers crossed And tongue in cheek today
