Of Lies, Pies ‘n’ Promises

She fished in lakes that were fishable.

Her stanzas a ploy, her sunbeams a decoy.

 

Her cantos were cloying, crawling carrots she angled

with a lustrous, luscious ,luring live hook and line.

 

Did she bait her hook with honeyed humor and hues

like radio and TV programmes meant to entice hearers

 

and viewers for ads? Or was she a charming, curvy server

who consumed clients at a tavern like service stations are to fuel

 

what carters and users are to eating places and other amenities?

Did she drop pies ‘n’ promises like duping racers at an election time?
