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

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 ..

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.
