Liars Never Win
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
If I keep going on like this
The rest I seek I’ll surely miss
I cannot find it late at night
To sleep all day is just not right
I will not let that liar win
His choicest fruit is only sin
So, when he offers it to you
Just hold your nose and say Pee-ewe
Don’t piss me off! To lie is sin.
And you know liars never win!
