I’m getting dizzy in a
tizzy
from the spin you’ve
pinned to the truth
with your fancy suit
that suits you well
and a snazzy tie-
clip appearing to be
or not to be a gentle-
man you pull out
chairs and open doors
charming smile all
the while
until you speak and
make me think I don’t
have a clue

It’s the Sunday Mini Challenge at Real Toads
using a quote from Terry Pratchett’s Carpe Jugulum
“Don’t trust the cannibal just ‘cos he’s usin’ a knife and fork!”
There are always those who stop being so pretty the moment they open their mouths and the truth oozes out… May we be saved by prompt communication.

All those clever linebreaks make me stop up and and fill with meanings… just the opposite to the man who seem to be talking in tongues.
