Hi. My name is Alex and I am a habitual liar. I go around saying things like
Tom Cruise is my dad,
Hulk Hogan is my bodyguard,
I can run rings around Paul Tergat,
I was the man on the grassy knoll,
Ive slept with Beyonc Knowles,
I taught Jackie Chan everything he knows
(But I didnt teach him everything I know),
Spiderman got caught in a tangled web,
Elizabeth Taylor has never wed,
Roses are blue and violets are red,
I invented the World Wide Web,
Mother Teresa was richer than billionaire Ted,
Elton John and Ellen Degeneres are getting married,
Ive got a diamond bigger than the Pink Panther,
The Best Hip Hop Album Award goes to Bill Gaither!
I can rap faster that Twista,
The judges verdict on Bill Clinton was that Viagra works,
No, honey, you dont look fat in that,
The cheques in the mail,
I wasnt laughing AT you, I was laughing WITH you,
I can stop smoking any time I want to
And so on
But the biggest lie Ive ever told
Was when I told everyone I know
That I never loved you
And your leaving didnt mean a thing
Because the day you left was the darkest day of my life
And all the lies were an attempt to cover up the void inside.
In fact, if I wrote the story of my life
And failed to confess my love for you
And the book somehow turned out to be worth its weight in gold,
Then it would be THE GREATEST LIE THATS EVER BEEN SOLD!

Hi,
Like it - quite unique! Not short on humour either.
And then the punchline - understandable, but YOU
know, more than anyone, it's time for a reality
check.
And the truth will set you free etc........
Well put together my friend.
Tommy
