What a brilliant way of exposing THE SYNAGOGUE OF LIES!

Here is the short version I am able to stitch together

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!

I very much appreciated the original poem as well - Thank you from the bottom of my heart! (fortunately I can still feel it)

Thank you for that including the last phrase! Your short version says it all really.

Yeah surely for THE BARE BONE TRUTH the physicist version is enough, but sometimes a bit more flesh - BEAUTY/VIRTUOSITY - reveals what otherwise is being lost.

GOD ALMIGHTY puts everyone where he is most useful for THE TRUTH (on both sides)!

Keeping an humble attitude never fails anyone, but it is the hardest thing to maintain, which is why it is forgotten by THE MAJORITY!

Thank you very much, high praise indeed. I am indebted to Hillaire Belloc whom I read as a child. I can recommend him. He lived in Sussex, the county where I am based.

I've heard the name over the years but have never looked into him and never read anything by him. Brought up on Noyce, Coleridge, Browning et. al as far as the British poets go. Will change that now. Thanks.

Hear hear! Well writ! The psychopaths at the top are dripping with lies.
