But I Lie for a Living...

Imagine me there was an extra hour

with which the day I could gad about

what would I do with all awesome power

but fritter useless through the time no doubt.

For what do I do now with early rise

but while away the time with internet

and whether it be games or writing lies

or watching politicians spout their fakest yet.

For in my youth I would have stayed in bed

especially in the winter months when frost

would paint inside my bedroom windows; dead

to the world and in the land of dreams be lost.

 I be lying if I claimed I'd use the time

 for art or to improve this life of mine.
