The Art of Diplomacy by, Ivor E. Hogg©copyright, all rights reserved I’m all alone and woebegone. The happiness I knew is gone and all because I spoke the truth as I was taught to in my youth. She asked me my opinion of the tight jeans she had put on. I answered her quite truthfully I said perforce I must agree. They made her backside look immense. I should have used my common sense I could have lied, I should have lied I could have easily denied That those tight jeans had magnified the shape and size of her backside. I chose to answer honestly with the result that she left me. I warn young men think carefully before you answer honestly. Sometimes a lie is justified to keep your lady by your side. I’m still alone and woebegone but I have learnt diplomacy when asked for my opinion I’ll answer you look fine to me. Last Date
