Little White Lies

Neville

Little White Lies

 

Is it okay

To tell little

White lies

Not on a Sunday

She said

Much to my surprise

 

Is it okay

To talk

Nonsense instead

Of course

It is crucial

So go right ahead

 

So he did

And she listened

Or rather

She read

Now she can’t

Get his damn voice

Out of her head

    A fine write Neville. Aww, why they say I talk nonsense any day?! lol.

    • Neville

      Good morning & thank you orchidee.... I have absolutely no idea 🙂

      Enjoyed the read but why are white which stands for purity shouldn't they be little black lies - come to that how come they have any colour at all - unless they are written of course and then if they really are white you would need black paper - can you get it anywhere? I am so confused.

      • Neville

        Hey many thanks kind sir for stopping by and considering me little Sunday mane scribble.. Hope the following little scribble is of some value.. black paper indeed... Little white lies refers to the venial (lesser) sin of lying in a nearly-truthful (but still dishonest) way. The notion of these kinds of lies being small and white (not dirty) implies that they aren't especially serious or consequenctial lies, cheers Neville

          I'm in a flippant mood today - helps with my poetry!

          • Neville

            ah well there's always a flip side....

          • Andrew Charles Forrest

            Oh I can relate to that
            It's not a lie if you tell the truth straight away afterwards
            That's nonesense
            Great write Neville good sunday to you

            • Neville

              makes perfect sense to me.. bless ya Andrew & blessings a plenty this fine Sunday mane .. Oh' and thanks be upon you....

              We all tell a few porky pies don't we. But i never do in these comments.
              Nonsense on the other hand is something i'm all too good at publishing on MPS.
              Would you rather be remembered for your porkies or a few items of nonsense?

              • Neville

                Let's just forget she ever asked and have a party instead.. cheers DA..

              • sylviasearcher

                Or the other way around lol

                • Neville

                  yes, of course.. the other way round... cheers my friend, thanks for reminding me...
