BOOMARANG

BOOMARANG

Once upon
A time
There was
A fair
Liar...

She would
Look
Everyday
In the mirror
And to herself
Say
Today
I am in
Excellent 
Spirits...

Then she'd 
Convince
Others
Of the same!

On another
Day
She'd decide
She was
Terribly ill
And so
Play
That card...

All would 
Worry
And wish
Her well
While
She  went
About in
Perfect
Health
All behind
Their backs...

Still sometimes
The fair
Liar
Couldn't make 
Up her
Mind.
Then she'd 
Be between.
Wellness
And illness
For some 
While!

All the lying
One day
Took a toll
On those 
She'd often 
Fooled...

They joined
Forces
And her
They confronted.

It was
By surprise
That she 
Was caught
Lounging
Lazily around
When she'd 
Said
She was busy
Beyond
A doubt.

They grabbed 
Her
And by the
Shoulders
Shook her 
As they
Into the 
Chasm
Of lies
Dropped
Her!

Thus it was
That by her
Own
Doing
The fair liar
Met a 
Liar's ending!
