'Tis well-documented that George Washington had issues with his choppers.
'Tis also well-known that he was not prone to fabricating whoppers.
So it comes as no surprise and can be truly said of our first President,
That truer words were never spoken thru falser teeth by this honorable gent!

Though many times Cletus O'Toole was somewhat uncouth,
He could always be relied upon to tell the truth.
No better legacy to his progeny could he bequeath,
Than that of, "Truer words were never spoken thru falser teeth!"

In Christ Church meadow - walked I there,
on late spring day, quite clear and fair,
walking slower than most dare,
for May is under Mary's care.
Sometimes, in arrogance, I claim,
that man needs but himself - the same
thought could not be falser here
as I behold it all so clear.
Birdcalls in the aging trees,
fresh flowers for the buzzing bees,
the sway of grass in gentlest breeze,
the ducks and geese go as they please.
There Oxford's spires break the sky -
I marvel at my thoughts - for I
had once held art in sole esteem,
our minds the well and truth the stream.
So obvious that all we do,
is drawn from what we see anew -
as life begins with each soft spring,
beauteous soil for mind's flowering.
And while I sit on twisted wood,
thinking back to when I stood,
I dream of all the minds who dreamt,
fed by the brook's soft temperment,
and as I walk, I long to see
the ghosts of those who walk with me.

Washington wore fake teeth as voiced beneath,
But with sagacious thoughts did us bequeath!
And after profound weighing,
It just goes without saying:
Truer words were ne'er said through falser teeth!

I found some pithy quotes attributed to the Father of our Nation,
And thought I'd share some with you to further your education.
I've read his "Farewell To The Troops" but this stuff I'd never heard.
Sounds like he lifted them from The Proverbs as written in The Word!
I must maintain my reputation for rhyme and meter if you will permit,
So forgive me for using poetic license in paraphrasing George a bit.
"Refrain from booze which is the source of many problems big and small;
It'll give you headaches and trembling hands and you'll achieve no work at all!"
"Far superior is an army of asses led by a prudent and ferocious lion,
Than an army of lions led by an ass!" (And for sure he wasn't lyin'!)
"I maintain that a sensible woman can never by happy with a fool,
Especially if the man she weds is as stubborn as an army mule!"
"No long distance can keep anxious lovers long asunder,
Unless they find another and that could cause a serious blunder!"
These are just a few mots that George in his wisdom did bequeath.
It can be said that truer words were never spoken through falser teeth!

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your reputation!"
This sage advice was offered by George Washington, the father of our nation!
'Tis but one of many wise adages to us he did bequeath.
Can be said that truer words were never spoken through falser teeth!

If on history books we can rely
'Tis said Washington never told a lie
He had false teeth it is said
Yet uttered truths from his head
But pols now with 'wisdom' teeth are so sly

A facade
Put together to portray a thought,
But what happened to
Reality.
Reality. What is reality?
A reality is what we make it.
But a facade
Is falser still.
Changing daily as we see fit.
What is real?

Truer words
Were never spoken

I hate the way you talk to me
I hate it when u care
Cuz you’ve given me false love
That dies from just a stare
That rips my heat apart
That makes wanna travel
That makes me wanna declare
I hate you
I hate it when you stare
Not once did u cover my wounds
Not once did u stop my tears
You’re love is getting falser
Day skipping day
I hate you so much
You make wanna swear
You’re not the reason I smile everyday
You’re not the will that is written in my latest declare
I hate u so much
You make wanna cry
I hate you
You never were the way u were befor
