Don’t lie to me, don’t cheat
I am no coward, I can take the heat
Be a human stand on your two feet
And tell me the truth straight and neat.

I have no idea how that happened.
I once read on the bathroom wall
Day one: truth hurts
Day two: Everything that hurts in not always truth π
Don’t why I remembered that, yep mee two like people talking the truth.
Me: Profound statements on bathroom walls?? Unbelievable!! π
I think this is the perfect time to say these perfect words to Pak.
Me: OMG, that was nowhere in my mind! π
‘simple and sweet’!! π
Me: Thank you!
I am no coward too,
So I will tell you neat
I will not cheat,
So ye be prepared!
Remember you me dared!
I opine,
You are quite fine
I love your humour posts
they make me smile,
And what I love most
Are your rants,
and your comments,
Against gender bias π
Oh yeah, absolutely kick ass!
π
Me: Gender bias, hmmm… you said it girl! π Thanks!
awwesome lines Shaili! I need to say this to someone… n im gonna mk it be a MAN instead of human.. hehehe
Me: Go roght ahead and say it! π
I think you changed the word Man to Human in order to appear to be politically correct???
Me: Right! Coz this failure to look you in the eye and say the truth is not linked to gender. Both genders qualify equally.
As always, love your poems!
Me: Thanks Ganga!
Absolutely. I said this to someone just a couple days ago: “Learn to call a spade a spade. If you cannot, leave it alone. But don’t call it something it isn’t till you learn to tell it like it is.” Uncanny that you post it now.

Me: Ahh someone like me! π
‘Be a human stand on two feet’ hehe hmmm that makes me say that those who cheat are brutal beasts… and its sad that we find some people like that almost always around us!
Me: We do indeed!
Very nice! Short, to the point, and very powerful!
Me: Thanks Amreekandesi!
Hey,you’ve been tagged:)

That’s a connecting punch !!!
Well done.
Me: Thanks Balvinder!
The truth is my blog. Nothing but the truth π
Me: Oh, I have to see that. Will pop over.
I just said this to someone 1 hour ago. I think we need this often.
Me: Good for you Solilo! π
Awesome. Spunky verse
Me: Thanks Ritu! π
LOL! This was neat,
Or was it rather sweet?
Either way, I admit
Your posts are hard to beat π
Me:
Wow that comment I admit

Every other comment it does beat
Now ain’t that totally neat??!! π
You rhymed it well!!
Keep blogging!!
Me: Thanks Biju!

Me: Welcome and thanks Dinu!
Punch****
With that closing line!
Neat work π And awesome at the same time.
The best ones are the shortest, and the hardest hitting too!
Loved this one!
Me: Glad to know the punch was conveyed. I get irritated with people who cannot tell the truth as it is. Is it themselves they are afraid of or the do they fear I would crumble??!!! π
Hard hitting punches … poetically delivered.
Me: Thanks J P Joshi. Lol, yeah ‘poetically delivered’! π
