When little girls tell big fat lies,
their little tears cause quite a mess.
The world is moved by girlie cries,
it's just a board before her eyes,
she quickly learns this game of chess.
When little girls tell big fat lies,
with little tears, men's hackles rise,
they war like nations under stress,
a world so moved by girlie cries.
See Greece and Troy, their common prize,
fair Helen's eyes and wholesome breast,
when little girls tell big fat lies,
all guilty found, till otherwise
so proven 'gainst the girl's distress.
The world is moved by girlie cries,
the truth must shout with many tries,
'gainst pouty lips and small pink dress,
when little girls tell big fat lies,
the world is moved by girlie cries.
(C)2008, Christos Rigakos
