Prefabricate Poem by Stanley Cooper

To concoct in order to deceive
And thereby falsify
Can make an honest man grieve
As he sits and wonders why

While the truth can sometimes pain
With a different kind of hurt
It’s somehow less profane
And will cause less disconcert

While fabricating is subvert-ful
Prefabricating is worse
It’s very much more hurtful
Preplanned it’s more perverse

It is generally conceded
A lie should never do
Fabrication is not needed
In any honest view
