- [7] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)
fib, n. a lie that has not cut its teeth. an habitual liar's nearest
approach to truth: the perigee of his eccentric orbit.
when david said: "all men are liars," dave,
himself a liar, fibbed like any thief.
perhaps he thought to weaken disbelief
by proof that even himself was not a slave
to truth; though i suspect the aged knave
had been of all her servitors the chief
had he but known a fig's reluctant leaf
is more than e'er she wore on land or wave.
no, david served not naked truth when he
struck that sledge-hammer blow at all his race;
nor did he hit the nail upon the head:
for reason shows that it could never be,
and the facts contradict him to his face.
men are not liars all, for some are dead.
