We Are Liars

My husband and I lie so often people fact check us
We are used to it and frankly do not care
Open encyclopedias bring us no fuss
We spout our fabricated truth into the air

You sure your last name's not Clinton or Trump?!... Ah, I've got your name, at least; it's Polly. Polly Tischen. LOL. Thanks, Caren. Roared at this one. Still smiling, Gershon

Let's just put it this way. We are not running for office for a good reason.

Caren, The sky is always so very, very blue. But only at night does it reach it's zenith of blue. This prevarication is almost always never wholly true. But I hold to it just the same. "] -Richard

Thank you Eve. My husband is always fabricating "facts" so I fact check him, calling his bluff, and often.
