THE HALF-TRUTHFUL MAN Truthful folk are lovely. Liars are annoying. But a half-truthful man Is the most horrifying. Honesty deserves All the respect it receives. Lies are the favoured tools Of the likes of frauds and thieves The cleverest of whom manage To tell lies that the crowd believes. But the worst is the half-truthful man Having learned to use truth to deceive. All he claims is not Entirely falsehood. But make no mistake - He's up to no good.
