Liar

L. Payne

My Uncle would sit there
At my Grandma’s house
And lecture his mother on smoking
He wouldn’t let up
Until she turned to him angrily;
“If I wanted a damn sermon, I know where to find one!”


Grandma was the most loved and respected
When she spoke, it was final.
She never went to church.
She left the Republican Party when
It impeached Clinton.
“You can’t impeach him for screwin’!”


When she said she loved you, she meant it.
When she told you about farming, she meant it.
When she told you about Grandpa, she meant it.
When she told you that someone was an asshole, she meant it.
When she told you about work, she knew it.
When she saw you leave her room for the last time, she cried.


When the preacher said she had accepted Christ
At her death bed,
You knew he was a Liar.
