Two Truths & a Lie


Two Truths and a Lie

 

I have  been arrested in a foreign country       (at gun point)

I have  received a letter from the President     (Clinton, pre-re-election)

I have  won $1,200 on The Price is Right       (please remember to spay and neuter your pets)

                       

I am

            related to one of the King Richards     (my grandma says so)

            related to Abraham Lincoln                  (my aunt says so)

            nothing like my mother                        (my mother says so)

 

I

            love salt

            hate poetry workshops

            could never write a poem about what I am not.
