"We start with a class on tall stories, progressing to fibs and untruths." "By the time they are teens they are ready to leave little white lies behind." "They engage in deceit and deception. These skills help them rob people blind." "With our Grad course in prevarication They misdirect and deflect with the great." "Obama was born in Hawaii, his foes say he was birthed out of state." "When Bill Clinton was caught in that perjury I nearly went out of my mind." "If only he'd paid more attention in Class and less to some coed's behind."
