[Texan5]

The Clintons are the best example
Of “mendacious” by any tradition
Their photos are in dictionaries
Right beside of the definition-

Whether the meaning of “is” is
What is making up their chatter
If confronted, Bill or Hillary
Will just say it doesn’t matter

And if some facts do not fit
Into the narrow, royal style
Of the wannabe queen Hillary
She’ll dig up another FBI file...

I thought of Burl Ives in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” too-the first time I heard that word was when my mom took us as little kids to the movie, and Ives as Big Daddy was complaining about too much mendacity-I liked the sound of the word and we were saying it when we got home. My dad asked us where we got that and we told him-and he asked my mom why she had taken us to see a movie that clearly was intended for adults...

My sentiments as well. Sometimes a word can spark long forgotten memories.

Your poetry is excellent. I have already awarded the Plumed Pen award but you deserve special recognition.
