" The Finger Lick‘n Truth "

It occurs that man flirts with truth from time to time, with no intention of courtship.

" The Finger Lickn' Truth "

If the truth was pretty
And it smelled just right…
Or it taste like a t-bone
And came in diet light…

If truth was static free
And came in easy stages…
Or in scratch n sniff colors
On large n glossy pages…

If the truth looked good
On my arm uptown…
Or sang like a bird
In a sequin gown…

But, … the fool is king, his folly law
His head is thick and fingers raw
Justice is blind and wisdom’s a pearl
Luck is a lady and Truth’s a girl

Her sister good intentions is
The procrastinating whore
Who knocks down the walls
And ignores all the doors

Studying her cuts I have learned
Truth is a flame and not a burn
She won’t change and she won’t bend
Way too uppity for my friends

To some, Truth is getting rich
And finding perfect mates
But Truth is just a lonely girl
Who never get’s a date
