White Lie Birds

Backhanded compliments are meant to disturb
Yet on surface pretend to be a polite white bird

Giving fake hazel humor or slighted cranberry concern
When the person pretending to teach needs to learn

Learn the lessons of southern hospitality amber and
If you’re guessing know you can catch these hands
