Those sweet things..

When you toil in kitchen for hours,

And make his favourite food

You know the salt is too much,

But he still says it is good.

.

Your daughter makes you a portrait,

Your nose is flat and mouth droops

But you still smile and say,

Hey, that’s just how I look

.

Your MIL buys a shirt FIL loathes,

The fit is poor and the color drab

His friends at the senior club snigger,

But he carries it for her, saying its fab

.

I make most feel good,

About themselves or another,

What’s bad in keeping peace,

As long as you don’t hurt the other

.

I always bring in smiles and whoops,

Unlike truth, that snarky guy

Still they badmouth me

The poor pretty little white lie.
