I may have posted something with the same title before, which says a bit about me I suppose. And certainly I am guilty again with an act of regifting – sort of.
I posted this little jingle in response to Cyranny, here, who wrote something far more sweet and charming on the issue.

A small mistruth
The other night
I wasn’t where
You thought I might
Be misbehaving
Not quite right
Out of mind
And out of sight
A little fib
A little sin
Touching someone
Else’s skin
Breathing someone
Else’s breath
Sharing someone’s
Little death
Just being someone
Else’s fun
Not being someone
Else’s One
For it won’t last
Till death
We part
Not touching someone
Else’s heart
Yes, I can lie
You know that’s true
And I will lie
To lie with you
you has a way with words, never doubt that. This is sad, and profound, and direct, all at the same time. And those last four lines will stay with me a very long time. =)

I thinks that lots would lie, to lie…
Well penned!

Perfectly sums up the proclivity of humans to sometimes wander off the beaten path to satisfy their curiosity.
