Poppycock

I'd rather owe it to you than cheat you out of it
 never loan money it never returns
If you do the same thing over and over
 you're in your comfort zone
Fences make good neighbors
 a thirty-foot wall makes them better
You have to break eggs to make an omelet
 milk a cow so we can add some cheese
Little white lies are nicer than the raw truth
 explains that twenty-two trillion national debt
We can always remain,  friends 
  loan me twenty-two trillion dollars
It is better to give than to receive
 only if your the receiver and not the giver
You're only as old as you feel
 thank you, Methuselah
I feel like crap
 you smell like it too
Smile and the world smiles with you
 it is lonely in my padded cell
Somethings are best unsaid
 Poppycock!
