Tercets For Toxic Times
 
Beware!  Some long in tie or tooth,
Or still in somewhat twisted youth
Are not at home with sober truth.
 
Such liars are immune to shame
There’s always others they can blame
And if not, well, it’s just the same.
 
Some bend it small, some bend it big,
But too few play their final gig
To Reckoning in robe or wig.
