My neighbour's a big hitter, Within the Chartered Institute of Bullshitters, He tells me he's a spy, But he knows I know it's a lie! Why does he say these things?! Like the time he defused a bomb, Or when he came first in a marathon. I do, though, admire his conviction, When telling me these outrageous fictions. Why does he say these things?! One day I will challenge his cock-and-bull stories, Tell him I know it's all jack-a-nory. But for now I take delight in stories, like: His solo circumnavigation of the globe...on a tandem bike! So I ask for the last time: Why, oh why, does he say say these things?!
