The first is what they say counts
No matter how gaunt
If you could manage not to daunt
I'll follow on your jaunt
DISGUISED: your slime won't stop to stink
OLD MASK: can see through it in just a blink
Wearing ties and expensive suits
Inside the shell you are so cruel
Just don't neglect to wear your 'chute
Your landing might be brutal
Fake teeth, fake smiles,
Dispensing from a pile,
Warm pats, cold hugs,
As slimy as many slugs!
IMPOSTOR: candour does not belong to you
PREPOSTEROUS: you never say the truth
Wolf in tailored clothing
My crying out won't change a thing
Meaningless and a waste of time
Exposing you would be sublime
Nobody else seems to care enough
Rely on the trim, not on the scruff
What if I'd change my dyed thatch
Will you believe me if I report there's a catch?
When the facts don't follow the pledge
I will stash my faith on the highest ledge
You feel so safe and never frown
As long as we won't ALL BUCKLE DOWN!
