When you tell a lie

Paul Hatch

When you tell a lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies, Oh brother,

You’re in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies trying to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won’t suspect you

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect

A life filled of worries and fear

‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies you told

And half the things you said aren’t true

And sometimes you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep multiplying

‘Till whole wide world will know you’re lying

Then you’ll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you’re closing the door

On everything good....

Student Success Statement

“I shall pass through this life but

once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it; for I shall never pass this way again.”

-ANON

Reflection:

What I think this means is that we only live once so why mess it up, live life to your fullest and choose the right never do wrong because you mess up once you won’t be able to fix it because you already messed up. There won’t always be second chances. And when you mess up once don’t go down that road again you don’t want to mess up and make the same dumb choices you did before so it’s time to start fresh. And act like nothing happened.
