  This can't be a reference to the current political stage, a such situations aren't ended discreetly that I've noticed. At any rate, an intriguing poem, Fred!

    Thanks Louis, you are right, I don't think it is political, but otherwise wide open to the readers interpretation.

  Good write, the problem with lying is that you have to remember which lie you have told and memory can fail.

    Thanks, Goldfinch! Ah, if we could remember every lie we told. But sometimes a little lie turns into something much greater.....

  A fine write Fred. Unfortunately my white lie has gone too far. I only said originally 'I would like to marry KP'. doh! heehee.

    Thanks orchidee, and see where it got you. Now we are already talking about having kids with KP! Well, maybe they will do good at Halloween!

  A relationship build on a lie cannot be but ended - finished discreetly as the verse says is the better way Fred methinks.

    Thanks Fay, you are absolutely right. But I think there are cases where one of the partners lies about something inconsequential, which is then blown out of proportion.

  One should never lie if he can't remember what it was, that is one reason I don't. No memory for it.
