Do the Numbers Lie Please Post Your Reply

The numbers are slowly trickling in
And sadly they are not looking good
It is hard to tell at this point 
If it was you
Or if it is them
But your message simply did not get through
And as they say
The numbers do not lie
You are not our guy
Or so the story goes

Robert Lindley September 4, 2018 at 5:56 AM My friends numbers can be tricky. Take the good with the bad. In most things in life perseverance and dedication leads to gaining desired results. Enjoyed reading this poem .. Christopher Flaherty September 11, 2018 at 3:54 PM Thank you Friend. All the qualities I sadly lack including Patience. Ta Robert

Vicky Tsiluma October 27, 2012 at 12:54 AM Nice write this! Of course they say numbers don't lie but what they don't tell you is that numbers can be manipulated. Take for instance in the case of surveys, all you need is a biased region or age group to get you the response you'd like.
