You want it recorded?
for the post terioralized world
for the world exterior
and they filled in the event
with hot dogs for a quarter
an international talk as you think
for a naturalized border
'well I'
can't for an honest lie
lie
but once
so that
those dogs for a quarter
don't make you a rich hot dog vendor
and
me an increment quarter poorer
at the international
exchange rate
at my meager wages
to record yesterday
for tomorrow
well,... if I not lie
everyone grow poor
including the hot dog vender
sees his chance make for himself
a richer bigger space
charging a quarter
at an international rate
And I resolved
the only way
lie at an international rate
tell the scheming vendor
what I think to lie
make us both richer
"I told all the tax rate on the international gate
go up 1/3 a quarter by noon day"
a lie so he make his dogs look like free taxes
and today I got rich selling hot dogs for a quarter
bought a house
right on
sits both sides
of the border
looks like I pay two taxes
but only a new rate of
plus !/3 a quareter.
So today I still say I never tell a lie
taxes go up
and
both me and the vendor
not both a 1/3 quarter poorer
less for my own conscientious
peace
live half one place half another
not seen together with my taxes at both
a' live and Know where I walked the level
a'scribe to my letters
a' flourishing
diversely pleasing
any eye
any border
where they pay each as I
only one third a quarter
