We exaggerate
we sensationalise
to appear more appealling
before other people's eyes--

a thousand becomes ten
'Yes, that was the true price
  I was the fastest runner
  I won every prize-

  In college all the girls loved me
  well, that was no surprise
   I scored distinctions in every subject
    my photo appeared in Enterprise-

      I campaigned for Donald Trump
      I gave him critical advice
      I've said enough for now
      Modesty I should exercise'.
