When you Tell One Lie it Leads to Another

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another                                          So you lie and lie without even trying

So you tell two lies to cover each other                                                    And each lie you tell will keep

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,                                                                    multiplying

You’re in trouble up to your ears!                                                         ‘Till the whole wide world will know

So you tell four lies to try to protect you                                                                   you’re lying

Then you tell five lies so folks won’t suspect                                                           Then you’ll be

                                  You                                                                                                   Suspected

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect                                                                          Detected

A life filled with worries and fears                                                                                  Rejected

‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies you’ve told                                            Neglected

And half the things you say aren’t true                                                                          Disliked

And sometimes you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up                                                             And you should!

                        and then                                                                              When you lie, you’re closing the door

Whatever will become of you?                                                                                On everything good

Student Success Statement

“When you Tell One Lie, it leads to Another”

Paul Hatch

 

I agree with Paul Hatch’s quote because a lie is a lie no matter how big or small it is. For example, you go to a new school and you told this online friend that you are popular when in reality you aren’t. That online friend surprises you out of nowhere and come to that school just for a semester. Your friend starts to act like you are popular and in lunch she makes you guys go to the popular kids table. Once you get there all the popular kids say who are you and your online friend says don’t you know her and they say no and you get in trouble and made fun of. Your online friend asks you why you did it and you said to impress them and they tell you that you didn’t have to do that to impress them because they love you the way you are!
