Guilty as Sin

by adewpearl



I swear I did not do it-
her story is codswallop.
Who listens to such balderdash
from a two-tongued trollop?

Each claptrap lie she's crafted
I'll meet with calm refusal.
Don't let her bunk befuddle,
or her flim-flam words bamboozle.

Her flummery's concocted,
the whole kit and caboodle.
I tell the truth and nothing but -
Her claims are pure flapdoodle.

She'll soon get her comeuppance,
so poppycock, I say.
The more she spreads her hogwash,
the more I'll make her pay!
