1.
A lie is situational
Mine tend to reducing
Or blowing up the fact
2.
Speak with a forked tongue
But make sure each tine
Knows what the other is saying
3.
There is danger
Lying in cahoots
Collate your lie with the other lie
4.
It travels in many guises
Animal scat hype shuck and jive
Prevarication stretching spoofing
5.
Common targets of falsehood
The po-lice the confessional
Your boss your boss's boss
Your parents surveys
The priest anyone over 40
The insurance adjustor
6.
Lies are like rabbits
They keep breeding
Until the range is overrun
7.
The safest lie
Is the one
Only you know
8.
The first one caught
takes the heat.
9.
"And after all, what is a lie? ’T is but
The truth in masquerade"
10.
The truth exists
The lie must be created.

No. 9 is a quote from a poem by George Gordon (Lord Byron)
