Exceptional

That is perfect. The picture is lovely, though at first glance it looked like a big sugar cookie, Or, maybe I am just hungry. This is concise and first rate. I really enjoyed it. Karen

It's only a legend but I know for sure I would not test it and put my hand in... when I was young I would lie to avoid being punished ( in boarding schools).

I'm much older and hopefully wiser and I have stopped saying lies ..they just get you into more problems.

Thank you for the top score review !

I was told that if you don't
lie, you never have to remember what you said. :-)

Excellent

I totally agree with the sentiment expressed in this monostich. Truth will come out, whether in a day or a decade, to be dealt with at that time. Well written. Good title.

Thank you! I totally agree.

I try to be honest cause growing up I learned that a lie might get you out of strife in that moment but some how the truth will come out and bite you in the butt

Excellent

This is an interesting monostich poem for the contest.
Unusual comparison of truth to a rotten tooth;
that's more like a lie.
Your title must have one or two words.
Good luck in the contest.

To me it seems clear:

Eventually a rotten tooth has to come out

Idem the truth.

I will edit the title thanks for advising me .
