                           When You Tell One Lie it Leads to Another
                                                                 Paul Hatch  

When you tell one lie, it leads to another                   So you lie without even trying
 So you tell two lies to cover each other                    And each lie you tell will keep
Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,                               multiplying
 You're in trouble up to your ears!                         Till the whole wide world will know
So you tell four lies to try to protect you                                you're lying
Then you tell five lies so folks don't suspect                        Then you'll be
                              you                                                             Suspected
                                                                                                 Detected
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect                                    Rejected
 A life filled with worries and fears                                         Neglected
'Cause you can't remember how many lies                               Disliked
               you've told                                                              And you should!
 And half the things you say aren't true                 When you lie, you're closing the door
 And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up                        On everything good
                   and then
     Whatever will become of you?

      "When you tell one lie, it leads to another."

                              Paul Hatch 
                      

Reflection: I do not agree with this quote because it does not make sense for many occasions. One day someone can get tired of lying and can confess all their lies; that would not lead to another lie. Some lies are not continuous and end at some point. What I'm trying to say is sometimes, at one point, someone will decide they do not want to lie anymore and will speak with the truth.
