NATIONAL POETRY DAY
Strewth, they've chosen "Truth" as the subject for a poem
A challenge then, forsooth, and the chance to gaily show 'em.
But truth itself is malleable...a frequent victim of attrition
And if you don't believe me - just look up "politician".
One person's fact is another's fiction, so frequently the case,
And so many people practise both - and manage a straight face.
Perhaps when they need a reminder of the harsh reality of truth
They should reflect on their reflection in the passport photo booth! :
