Who are the ones to watch for? Surely those  
that beat their heart, proclaiming "Nothing But!"  
A lie is often dressed in truthful clothes  
it drowns in them, you'd think there was a glut.  
"The truth, much like a gyroscope, needs spin",  
they'll tell you with the most sincerest smile  
In truth, truth doesn't matter if they win  
and winning never does go out of style.  
For those of us who're longer in the tooth  
it's no surprise, and that is the whole truth
