Three Generation of one-time liars

My maiden attempt to tell a funny story in verse. Some of it happened as is, and for the rest I've taken poetic license

====================================================
“Mama I’ve lied” she cried

"I know I’ve been bad

Didn't want to make you sad

Throwing out my report card

As my grades weren't up to par

Now I know I have no recourse

As you have an inside source

And as my plans went bust

Didn’t want to lose your trust"

“Mama I’ve lied” she cried
Braced herself for the bumpy ride

There she stood a figure so sorry
But all that she got was....
A hug and a story!


Now, now, dear. Don't fret my baby
Argus with hundred eyes, I maybe
But this wise mom was a child once
Who did things best fit for a dunce
"Papa I've lied" I had cried
I know I've been bad
Didn't want to make you mad
To your numerous warnings, i paid no heed
Ambling along alleys, caught up in greed
Like a pirate on rampage hunting for gold
Looking for treasures on streets so cold
Lost in the labyrinth, when darkness came down
Until I was found with tears streaming down


"Papa I've lied" I cried
Braced myself for the bumpy ride

There I stood a figure so sorry

But all that I got was ...
A hug and a story!

Now now dear, don't fret my baby

Theseus in a labyrinth I maybe

But this wise man was a child once
Who did things best fit for a dunce

To dad's numerous warnings, I paid no heed
Ambling along orchards, caught up in greed

Craving for blueberries, that tasted like manna

Dived under a fence, stole and did a runner

Feasted on them till i could take no more

Washed the stains off, till my tongue was sore

'til the news reached him embellished like a story

And there I stood a figure so sorry

But all that I got was....

No hugs, no stories, and no dinner too

Just plain old tirade and a smack or two

Since then no berries and no lies for me

This is my message for you from me

So you see my dear, we've all been there
Three generation of one-time liars

Terrible at lying although we were

At least we got a story to share
