Chicken Little Liar
Oh, how sweet the sound
Of your honey soaked voice
Regurgitating promises
Only fit to mend a broken heart
All the while hiding
Canary colored feathers
Beneath a feaux persona
For your own disgraceful pleasure
Secret after secret revealed
The lemon around your eyes
You talked the talk
Until the talk exposed your lies
Chicken little
Your sky is falling
Better run and hide
I don't think I've ever seen
A brighter shade of yellow
Then what illuminated
From your backside
