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
