Frankly, They’re Lying (Limerick)
You probably know this old chestnut of a joke: “How can you tell when a politician is lying? When his (or her) lips move.”
Here’s my own slightly less cynical lie detection technique:
How do you know that a politician is lying? The word ‘frankly’ comes out of his/her mouth.
Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina seem especially fond of the word ‘frankly,’ but they’re certainly not alone in having that ‘tell.’
Pols frequently telegraph lies.
For example, I’m quick to surmise
That a whopper’s about
To be told by some lout
When he uses the ‘frankly’ disguise.
