It Doesn't Matter
The Truth doesn't matter; what is proven doth count.
If you are a trial lawyer the evidence you tell.
If you are a "spin doctor" the pain you dispel.
If you are a great wizard you cast a new spell.
Ah, but if you a politician be,
Why then good sir, you are all Three.
William's Whimsical Words:
Being honest with others is a piece of cake. Being honest with yourself is the trick.
