"Admit nothing;
Deny everything;
Make counter accusations!"
This is the modus operandi for legal relations.
Remember George and the Cherry Tree,
Back when America came to be?
Give the history books another look.
Nixon said, "I am not a crook."
Bill Clinton brought his own brand:
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
A lie has a strange construction.
The 3rd George swore on Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Barack’s stories are somewhat bolder.
"No increase in inflation, the recession and war are over".
America will reward you for what you do,
As long as you don’t tell the Truth.

A Hitlerian Lieutenant,
Joseph Goebbels
Authored the notion of the "Big Lie",*
The policy that we now live by.
If you want relief from a disaster,
Lie & money will flow faster.
If you tell the truth, you will regret it
Especially if you are trying to get some credit.
His breath had the smell of a sordid beer stink.
"No, I haven’t had enough to drink!"
Mr. Ed has never seen it fail:
"If I tell a cop the truth, I end up in jail."
The government is usually lying
When it begins denying.
This axiom is 1-hundred percent, bullet and foolproof.
If you want to get ahead in America, don’t tell the truth.

*Joseph Goebbels is credited with the theory of the "Big Lie".  Adolf Hitler referenced it in his autobiography, Mein Kampf.
