to lie or not


to lie or not

english as she's
spoke comes
doubtless not

               ---barbsdad

if for pishposh
in your english

you want proof,

you know that when
you're prostrate,

you do lie---
even though you

tell the truth

Actually ...

the piece references, in a subtly poke-fun-at way, the common misuse of "lay" for "lie." Thanx, Chuck
