Confessestina

It's easier to lie to your face
when I have it all written down.
That way the paper is to blame.
And I am free from over there.
Augustine said it best,
when he entitled his book.

They say you wrote the book
on exactly how to save face.
But they also say mom knows best
when you've fallen down.
She'll say, "there, there;
no one is to blame."

And still I point and blame
the authors of boring books.
The world's asleep and they're
too busy to surface
and bring us down
from what we know best.

You were always the best
at knowing who to blame.
But now you're calming down.
I guess you shouldn't overbook.
No time for face-to-face
anymore, is there?

I've decided that there
is no reason to be the best.
At that take value face.
Webster is to blame.
Damn his boring book,
through the years on down.

Down
there
is the book,
best
known to blame
its readers in the preface.

They threw their best book
down in disgust, but don't blame its face.
