Lie Ability



Pathological spit-steroid addict,
blame-shifting weightlifting fanatic
Decathlon cracked lip truth ... 
Jumping over another 
	high      cloudy crystal
	methane alibi 
aloof sprint hurdle 
Twisted twin-lip discus throw 
on a poppy milk turbo fan blow
Veracity record unverified:                                         
	Marathon factual finishes
don’t have a Mary Jane
	Photoshop shred of proof

Possessing a prosthetic tongue 
allows them half-truth pole vaulters 
	to perform 
those verbal gymnastic,
lying athletic feats of strength,
so hash mark daringly
Yielding honesty sweat labor sparingly

Such a Festivus mucous odor:
pandemic ground-zero celebration fête
Noxious nitro nostril gas, 
on a downhill imposter incline oxy splat

	     Lie ability 
don’t hinder a moral victory thief,
it’s a boon to the burglar, actually

Carousel tales ... up-and-down lung sales
giving hazy, rowboat circular details 

Ever racing for the Pinocchio prize,
	wouldn’t knowz  
	        losers, 
with smelly rumor toes ...
Fan the foul exhaust fumes — 
when their tale pipe empty, 
bad-breath     bellow sneakers
reach the end of the road
