The Counting House

Do statistics lie?

Sure they do.

It’s said 95%

Are made up on the

Spot

​

So when you examine your next pie

Graph and the four and twenty

Blackbirds baked therein

Note how thin

The sliver given to deliver

The casualties of 911

And all the rest,

Greedy-guts gobbled

By the dead 

Civilians of Iraq

 

Question 

These numbers?

 

Please
