Analysis of Embroidered Truth
He was aloof about the truth
So, lies came easily.
He would embellish and then relish
What "his" truth came to be.
Exaggeration caused elation,
At least inside his head.
The truth he stretched would often fetch
The rumors he had fed.
He told his lies with no surprise
To anyone around.
So, they were glad, with no one sad;
When he moved out of town!
