At
you can purchase
a leg of
solid Truth
or an arm
of solid Truth
but
between the
arm and the leg
is not
solid Truth
Between the
arm and the leg
of solid Truth,
the torso is stained
with the Lie
Maybe the stain
is not too obvious
but without the Lie,
the Truth has
no place to hide
Truth is worthless
without the Lie
nearby
to give it meaning
Costing less than
an arm or a leg,
an elbow
of solid Truth
is available
and is a fun thing
to have when you
nudge someone
with it
Fingernails of Truth
are available
in various sizes
and colors
except blue
which is
the preferred color
of the Lie

As a Costa Mesa resident, I have been to THE TRUTH STORE
ReplyDeleteat South Coast Plaza.
It is on the ground floor of the mall at the opposite end
from The Apple Store and no purchases can be made
at THE TRUTH STORE if the customer has any products
purchased from Apple!
That sounds vaguely Biblical:
Deletewhen Eve bit the Apple, there was an eviction notice
from the landlord of the Garden of Eden.
