Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Liar Be Caught

I, Xavier Alvarez, vow
To lie bigger and better since
Lying free speech is okay now,
With no illegal consequence.
Elected to the Water Board,
No big deal if I lied about
Military stint and award,
Water under the bridge, no doubt.
Who in politics doesn't lie?
Part of the game to lie a lot,
American as apple pie.
It only matters if you're caught.

Maybe I'll run for President,
The big league where the truth is bent.
