I love this one, Onelia! Your playful juggling with the idea of lying - so many meanings hinted at! And the final effect light as a souffle, ironic and funny.

...the words of this concise down-to-the-point poem rendering an apt psychoscopic tool for the metaphysical detection in each case of who's a liar and who's not...

The enigma is how nonsense parades on short legs to rapturous applause! Because it wears flashy tights... The poem's simple construction allows readers to attribute something from experience, contributing to an aura of almost nursery rhyme universality. And therein lies its greatness. Rgds, Ivan

What a clever little piece of verse. Could almost be an old english proverb. Like this, it certainly does have legs! HG: -) xx

Made me smile and laugh...love the first line(sounds like folklore or something a mother would say to her daughter) and the whole concept is deliciously funny and insightful. Love it! love Donall Donall
