VACATIONS IN AN EMPTY HEAD

Of course both sides will keep on lying
Until they’ve either won or lost.
Since losing would be mortifying,
They’ll tell their lies and damn the cost.
The bigger liar wins elections
By circumventing our reflections
And substituting in their stead
Vacations in an empty head.
Most liars use documentation
The way a forger plies his trade-
He uses truth that’s appliquéd
Enough to cause a defamation
Of character that when it’s slurred
Confirms what we would have averred.
