sure does make one wonder, doesn't it?

I must admit that I never saw through your deception with old Cousin Tom, plotting against me, while pretending to feud with each other. Live and Learn, I guess.

ED ... WELL DONE! makes me think of some old song lyrics:

"Millions of hearts have been broken,
just because these words were spoken
'i love you, yes i do, i love you'
if you break my heart, i'll die -
so be sure it's true when you say,
'i love you' -
it's a sin to tell a lie!

i'll never never tell a little white lie!"

TRUTH is a scarce and valuable commodity these days! TK.

Hi Ed:
ENjoyed the poem, Ed. Yep! Lies are so prevalent we don't even notice. Did you ever wonder at the use of the word "free"? Merchants advertise this free thing and that free thing. How about trying to get the "free" item without paying. They'd call the cops on you in a New York minute. But if it was free, there would be no strings attached, right?

Did you ever wonder about the auto insurance companies. Why, for goodness sake, they will each and every one save you $475 over the price charged by their competitors. So how does that work? Reminds me of the different churches that each and every one offers salvation within their doors, but hellfire and damnation if you diddle with any of those other so-called churches out there. Kind of makes you wonder about their core message, doesn't it? LOL
Best regards,
Leland

Say it like it is! Thanks.

An interesting write and I found the reviews and comments on this one also very interesting...well done Ed.

You ain't lying..... Nice job, thanks Dick

I agree with Gene. Truth does exist and I like to think that with all of us here in AD truth is first and foremost. After God that is.
Well done, Ed.

Yes, Ed, truth does exist--and that ain't no lie. -gene.

Some folks just don't tell the complete truth Ed and I guess that would be like a little white lie that most people take advantage of every now and then. Great write again.

Hey Cuz, this ain't bad and that's no lie. Patrick

Wow Ed ... you are on a roll. Keep up the good work. enjoyed ... richard

Too much energy spent on lies...when the truth is better
served for enlightenment, although sometimes white the light
is okay...when feelings are spared.

Yes us writers do write fibs. But it is expected of us. Great rhyme to go along with this great writing, Ed.
Peace

You are right, and so true blue, I'm going to let that one lie.

Ron

Good thoughts...problem is for most is that they believe their own tales.

For many people, truth is what they want it to be, but for everyone, at the end of the day a lie is still...a lie.

Cheers,
Dan

You are absolutely correct, Ed. The crying part of it all is even lies aren't lies. Any good lawyer can convince a jury that what he said he didn't say. Also, OJ is still out there looking for the vermin who cut his wife's head almost off of her body.
