A lie


This prompt from NaPoWriMo is to write a ten-line poem in which each line is a lie. Your lies could be silly, complicated, tricky, or obvious.

You will have to excuse my terrible attempt today. I have been ill today and may use this prompt again at a later date.

Of course i do not mind
Of course I do not mind if you come into my store,
shouting on your mobile phone.
Unattended children, running wild I do adore
I love the noise they make.
Sticky fingers on my wares I look forward too,
oh don’t worry if it breaks.
Stand and chat by the door so you can’t get through,
take your time, I have got all day.
Oh what fun when you don’t say thank you or please.
I just love rudeness.
To steal something from the shelf it does tease,
help yourself.
