You heard me wrong
I swear I never said it,
for I always tell the truth,
no, my fingers aren't crossed,
you can't see behind my back can you?
Author notes
For the subject of lies and how the person who often lies the most insists they always tell the truth. Always leaves one so unsure if you can trust anything they say.

Great job, this brings back floods of memories from my childhood...hmm...wonders if adults do this too...maybe I will start asking now, let me see your fingers, are they crossed? Or maybe the men in white coats will just take me away. HA HA! Excellent short concise write and sums it all up...

Trust is one of those gems that when it is real, is the most valuable thing it is, when it is fake it makes anyone feel cheated of treasure. Thanks for reading.

Thank you. Kind of silly I guess, but did the best I could.

this one was ok. not much to it subject-wise, but you cant expect too much from a 5line poem, i suppose. reminded me of elementary school...
