We're All As We Lie
Anthony Phillips

August saw a contest fit for Kings

from far and wide they came to trade their swings

Little grubs with stone-age clubs and tanners' sons

with foxes' gloves

they came face to face the stiffest coarse since Tring


Harold took an eight-iron at the first

hopped the hedge while Tostig chipped and cursed

Sliced into a sticky patch and, playing out, he'd met his match

when lettuce leaves had made the crowd disperse


So, we're all as we lie

We're all as we're lying

No, don't tell me it's time,

It's all in the timing.


Getting wiser, so much wiser, introspected ostraciser,

drinking up with no holes barred to play..


Daphne lay beside the Silent Pool,

when suddenly the air began to cool

Otto heard it, running back, and tried to stop the thudding crack

as Luther strode up, crying Winter Rules.


Holy Mackerel, cried the Papal Prince,

you're out of bounds I'm really quite convinced.

Luther drew his driver but the Pope pulled out a fiver

and they halved the hole on points of sacraments


So, we're all as we lie

We're all as we're lying

No, don't tell me it's time,

It's all in the timing.


Getting wiser, so much wiser, Seven Sister sympathiser

drinking up with no holes left to play.


The hour of confrontation now was nigh

as Plato and Justinian were tied,

Locked in mortal combat firing vulture after wombat

their supremacy now could not be denied.


The Seventeenth lay waiting for the pair

as both advanced with silent, ashen stares

But there they stood, incredulous, the distance

reading Nebulous

And Best of luck, Buzz Aldrin beat you there.


So, we're all as we lie

We're all as we're lying

No, don't tell me it's time,

It's all in the timing.


So, we're all as we lie

We're all as we're lying

No, don't tell me it's time,

or else I'll be crying.
