by Jerry Ratch
Whoever told us that truth-telling was so wonderful,
when we can plainly see that lying is the way to get results?

A weird energy between the curious and extravagant title and the straightforward assertion of the piece. A dissonant but very interesting chord.
Agree with Gary.
The title (the hook) tempts us in, then while we look around for the nude, the truth (that lying gets results)slaps us in the face.
Way to get results, you devilishly clever writer, you.
And it's less than a quarter's worth of words so there's 3 cents in change back.
Yeah, but...but how wonderful had your title been true.
