truth is and why

truth is and why

by Jess Mersky


I'm told echinacea
prevents scurvy or
something like that
maybe scabies and
St. John's Wort cures
warts but you know
I think that's a myth.
Truth is (and why
would I lie when
everyone knows it)
fact is if you chew on
a witch hazel twig and
turn round right round
three times in a circle
exactly one minute to
midnight on Sunday
(make sure it's a
gibbous moon too)
if you do all that your
hair will fall out but
you'll also find you'll
be able to fly like a bat
or a wizard which
you've got to admit if
you think for a minute
and if everyone did it
we'd all save a lot on gas,
but I'm not an expert
and I've never tried it
I can only say what
I've heard but why
would they lie it's
real sound advice
I'd say and anyway,
everyone knows.
