The Lie

I lied today!
  Not often will I say what is not.
  The lack of truth in what I said,
  Followed me all the way to bed.

  I don't eat bacon, eggs, or meat!
  But what a treat!
  In consideration,
  That was the lie.

  Occasionally a BLT,
  Or sizzling steak,
  On Sunday I bake a cake.

  So I lied today,
  Give me a break!
