Little White Lie

One little white lie, what could it hurt
Lost my wedding band in the dirt

Looked for hours not finding a thing
That night he asked, where is your ring

Heart pounding, thinking fast on my feet
At the jewelers being clean, I say in deceit
 
The next day I bought another
One that looks exactly like the other

One little white lie, what can it hurt
Found it later in the pocket of my shirt

    This is an excellent take on the prompt, but what I want to know, did it really happen??

    A good poem in couplet form and congratulations on the gold, well deserved.
